THIS fabulous picture taken in Bolton town centre in 1929 features a much changed scene at the junction of Newport Street and Great Moor Street. But look a little closer and the clues are there. The Waller and Riley building behind the policeman was pulled down many years ago, presumably to allow the widening of Great Moor Street, but the building behind, for many years a chemists, survives, and is now on the junction. It doesn't look as though there was a lot of traffic to keep the policeman busy!
