Gallery

This is a collection of miscellaneous images from around Bolton which do not fit into the context of the rest of the web pages. There is also an archive from the live Bolton camera. There is a page with skyline views available. Some pictures have also been taken from the top of St. Peter's tower. There are also a number of pictures of the old fountains. Phil Kelly, an ex Boltonian also has a selection of his own pictures of Bolton at http://www.gallery-of-photography.com/. Some old pictures of Bolton are available, along with some then and now pictures, and a set of old pictures from Derby Street area.
