Were you one one of these outings from Bolton 40 years ago?

This special selection from the archives takes us back 40 years and records just a few of the many trips and excursions being undertaken by the good folk of Bolton . Children from Egerton Playgroup off to Knowsley Safari Park in July 1984 (Picture: Newsquest) No matter what age you were, whether you were still at primary school or had left the world of work behind, there was certainly plenty going on in 1984. From day trips to weeks away, cases were packed and coaches were loaded as groups left Bolton behind/ Perhaps you were on one of the outings featured here or you may recognise someone who was.
