Nelson House, Bradshawgate
The former Prudential Assurance building on the corner of Nelson Square. Designed by the eminent Victorian Architect Alfred Waterhouse in 1889 without all the florid gothic features that appear on many of his famous buildings. Nevertheless, the use of red brick and terracotta is typical of his work. Listed Grade II.

The Picture House
Modern apartments on the site of the former Lido cinema. The use of timber cladding as a 'soft' feature doesn't seem to have matched the designers' expectations. The building's style doesn't seem to be the right match for the location.

Statue of Samuel Crompton
In Nelson Square, Bolton. Crompton (1753 - 1827) was the inventor of the spinning mule - a machine which revolutionised the cotton spinning industry worldwide. Crompton lacked the means to take out a patent and eventually made the machine available to a group of manufacturers on the understanding that they would pay Samuel for its use. He, however, received only about £60 in total in contrast to the fortunes earned by copiers of the unpatented machine worldwide.
Crompton married Mary Pimlott in 1780 and had 8 children.
The plaque on the plinth of the statue shows a depiction of Hall i' th' Wood - the house where Crompton was staying at the time of the invention.
