Bolton locomotive shed, the view from inside
Bolton locomotive shed didn't quite last to the end of steam traction but was one of the last 6 steam sheds. Closure came on 1st July 1968, so 6 weeks before the end. Here, outside the shed, LMS 8F 2-8-0 48692 (r) & LMS 5MT 4-6-0 44947 (l) await their next duties. The shed & yard area has now entirely been given over to a residential development which the map tells me is called 'The Sheddings'!

Bee Hive Mills, Bolton
A pair of large former cotton spinning mills now used by Home Delivery Network. A more recent looking office block is seen in the foreground. One chimney has been severely truncated and the other and one of the engine houses have been demolished. There was sleet in the air making for horrible photographs.

Bee Hive Mills, Bolton
This is one end of a pair of large cotton spinning mills that were then operated as a distribution centre by Home Delivery Network. This is the 1895 built No. 1 mill with the office block/entrance lodge on the right. There was an excellent view of the site across the railway from a United Utilities site and the security guard there let me in one August Saturday. When I had finished he suggested I go back and do it again from the top of the multistorey car park. I was very grateful.
I could not repeat that again because both Bee Hive Mills and the United Utilites site have been demolished.
