Offices, Marsden Road, Bolton
Original use unknown. Above the entrance is an inscription, "Established 1867", but the present building is clearly early C20th neo-Georgian, sober enough except for the rather flamboyant Baroque tower.
Currently home to BASE (Bolton Accommodation Support Employment), the National Careers Service and Connexions.
