I had an interesting visit to Bolton today, having never been before I didn't
know what to expect, I have to say the first impression as you leave the train and walk into town isn't the greatest (sorry )but a walk further down and you get to the Town hall and Art Gallery, you
get an idea of what an interesting Town it was, with the features of the Market place restored, just a shame about the awful 60's buildings surrounding everywhere.
I was going to the opening of a fantastic photography exhibition by
Geoff Davies a photographer who just enjoyed taking pictures of everyday life around
Bolton, Manchester and Salford to name but a few.
My father was fortunate to meet Geoff recently and find out a bit more about the man behind the pictures, in failing health this exhibition was put on for him, I would strongly recommend going along, what a lovely man and an inspiration to many, just to get out there and observe what's going on around you and capture it on film, then print these photos yourself.
