Bolton Town Hall by steventilly
Opened in 1873 by none other than HRH Prince Albert, this is a quite enormous Victorian edifice standing in front of a large pedestrianised square.It was partly destroyed by fire in the 1980's but has been carefully rebuilt & restored.
The square is a pleasant place to sit & relax after a busy day's shopping (a pity there's no "cafe culture" here though) and there is sometimes entertainment going on (bands etc).
Behind the town hall is le Mans Crescent (it was too murky to take a picture then), a fine crescent of regency style buildings. In August each year it hosts a Victorian Market - I guess we might visit again in August.
