Description |
The film looks at the pedestrianisation and redevelopment of Bolton Town Centre between 1969 and 1973. Includes the planning history, black and white stills of the centre as it used to be, a lot of footage of pedestrians and traffic and a scale model of how the new centre will look. Also interviews with shoppers, the precinct in Winter and a Remembrance Day parade outside the Town Hall. Views of the redeveloped site and a short section of pixillation towards the end. The voice over describes the background to the changes. |
