New development on St Georges Road, Bolton
The outside of an old stone building has been left, and then the guts have been ripped out to be replaced with this, twenty or so apartments.

Former Hope Foundry, St George's Street
A fine example of an early 19th century factory, with the buildings surrounding an enclosed yard accessed through a gateway. It may have started life around 1800 as a textile mill, but was in use as a foundry by the late 1820s. Now sympathetically converted into flats.

Steam engine in a cupboard.
Originally George Taylors Brassworks but was by 1995 S & S Engineering. The engine was later tidied up and connected to an electric motor but has now been moved for private preservation.
It was an inverted vertical single cylinder by Tangyes of Birmingham (Cornwall Works, Smethwick in fact).

All Saints Church
Originally the church on this site was "the chapel i' th' fields". Its successor, built in 1870, is no longer "i' th' fields", but is surrounded by buildings and busy roads. The grade II listed building is now a Ukrainian Catholic church.

Brassworks, All Saints Street
Was George Taylors but was by 1995 trading as S & S Engineering. Now no more. A really ramshackle works of a type that is sadly disappearing. On my first visit here the owner arranged a meeting with the late Fred Dibnah.

Genting Casino - Wesleyan
The casino is located in the former Wesleyan Methodist Chapel on St George's Road http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/981407 . One wonders what John Wesley would have thought about its change of use. The building itself dates from 1803 and is Listed Grade II.

George Taylor's Brass Foundry
Latterly S & S Engineering. Is home to a Tangye steam engine, derelict in a "cupboard". The owner arranged a meeting with Fred Dibnah, before he was quite so famous.
