Bute Street, Bolton
Typical Victoria workers' houses in Bolton. I am sure this is what Tony Warren had in mind when thinking up Coronation Street some 60 years ago. Its real-life counterpart is still to be found in the 21st century.

Back Shipton Street, Bolton
A back alley with cobbles behind terraced workers' housing in Bolton. Redolent of Coronation Street and still to be seen in the 21st century. In retrospect, I should have walked up a bit and turned round to photograph the huge mill at the end of the street.
