Former Great Lever Branch Library
This carries the date 1909, now rather concealed by the birch trees flanking the main entrance. This end of the building included a children's library with a separate entrance to the right. The building is now a community centre. It was designed by the prominent local architectural firm Bradshaw Hope & Gass http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3081382

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'!
