Farnworth Police Station

Formerly the County Police Station built in 1879 prior to the formation of Greater Manchester Police.

A view along Church Street with the Police Station on the left taken circa 1900. Rose Cottage built in 1843 is the building beyond the Police station.

 

Market Street Farnworth circa 1910 an old black and white image which has been given a sepia tone in Photoshop.

Bradshawgate, Bolton.

Rather than store theses images on a hard drive i have posted them onto the internet for others to view. Some of the images have been acquired from the internet and as far as i am aware are not subject to copyright. Many of the images are in poor condition so i have enhanced and restored them.

 

 

 

BRADSHAWGATE, BOLTON

 

 

This image was taken in 1887 showing the street decked out in patriotic flags and is likely to be around  the 21st of June when Britain celebrated the Golden Jubilee of Queen Victoria. In the distance is what is now 'Prestons of Bolton' jewellers. Below is the same image which i have edited in photoshop with a sepia tone and some 'cropping'.

 

Below is the same view over a hundred years later where the road appears to be wider.

Below is a view from the opposite side of the road taken in the mid 1990's showing Corks Wine Bar
