Bolton's industrial heritage
Jones, Bill2006
Book
Bolton was built on the cotton industry with, at its peak, over 200 mills in the town - the last closed in 2002 after a gradual decline throughout the 20th century. This illustrated book includes information on the transport infrastructure that made all this industrial activity practicable, as well as the essential public utilities.
