Scholey Street, BOLTON, BL2 1HX

Burnden Park is the former home of Bolton Wanderers. On 9 March 1946, the Railway End was the scene of the Burnden Park disaster, which at the time was the worst tragedy in British football history. 33 Bolton Wanderers fans were crushed to death, and another 400 injured, in an FA Cup quarter-final second leg tie between Bolton and Stoke City.

First unveiled at Bolton Wanderers FC's former home ground which stood on this site. Bolton left Burnden Park after 102 years in 1997 and the ground was eventually demolished 2 years later. The Asda store on the site opened in 2005 with the plaque placed above the cash tills. Another plaque with the names of those who never made it home was unveiled on the 70th anniversary by the store exit Image

Found in the exit area of the ASDA store built on the site of Bolton Wanderers former ground. (The original memorial plaque unveiled by Nat Lofthouse which doesn't include the names of those who never went home is inside the store itself above the tills.)

The viaduct, a Grade II listed structure (http://www.britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/en-489719-burden-viaduct-bolton British Listed Buildings), was originally opened in 1848 for the Liverpool and Bury (later the Lancashire and Yorkshire) Railway.
