Bolton Wanderers (Britain in Old Photographs)
This addition to the "Britain in Old Photographs" series brings together a collection of black-and-white pictures spanning the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Drawn from family albums, local collections and professional photographers, they show the way things were and how they have changed. Every photograph is captioned, providing names and dates where possible, revealing historical and anecdotal detail and giving life to the scenes and personalities captured through the camera lens. Bringing together all aspects of daily life - celebrations and disasters, work and leisure, people and buildings - the collection should inspire memories, as well as serve as an introduction to visitors.

Wartime Wanderers: Bolton Wanderers- A Football Team at War (Mainstream Sport)
The war against Germany is about to be declared. In front of a 23,000-strong crowd at Burnden Park, Bolton Wanderers captain, Harry Goslin, gives a rousing speech before leading the entire team to the local Territorial Army drill hall where they all sign up. For the next six years, as gunners in the 53rd Field Regiment of the Bolton Artillery, they face some of the heaviest fighting of World War II, in France, North Africa and Italy, and also establish themselves as a formidable regimental football team. Of the full squad only one is killed in action - the remainder return home to their families and to their football careers. This is more than a war or a football story however, it is the story of three individuals: Ray Westwood, who is a star already; his inseparable team-mate Ernie Forest, whose ready wit carries them through in the face of adversity; and Nat Lofthouse, who is still only a schoolboy when war intervenes to link their destinies.

| Old Grounds - Burnden Park |

Situated in the Burnden area of Bolton - approximately one mile from the centre of the town - the ground served as the spiritual home of the town's football team for 102 years. In its place is now a large ASDA superstore. The Asda store identifies itself with Burnden Park by having a number of extremely large photographs of the former stadium and players, placed high above the chekouts.
