Bolton Town Hall
![[Old picture of the Town Hall]](bthbw.gif)
Taken before Newport Street was pedestrianised.
You can go out of the town hall and into Victoria
Square, or stand on the town hall steps to start a virtual walk around Bolton.
The original Bolton Town Hall was opened on June 5th 1873 by HRH Prince Albert
of Wales. The first recital of the great organ in the Albert Hall was on
October 21st 1874.
Bolton Town Tall was ravaged by fire on November 14th 1981. This destroyed the
original, old Albert Hall, but the rest of the building was saved. This was
rebuilt into the new Albert Halls and Festival Halls, which are several
function rooms. It also houses the central tourist information and information
centre and ticket office. They also sell a range of local history books and
souvenir items, as well as detailed information on Borough services and
facilities, such as the Leisure Card giving discounts to regular use of
facilities.
To contact the ticket and information office by telephone, call +44(0)1204
334400.
