![Looking Back: Bradshawgate had some fine looking buildings 18242572](https://www.theboltonnews.co.uk/resources/images/18242572.jpg?type=mds-article-962)
Even today, Bolton has some impressive town centre buildings but as this photo from 1959 shows, many of them have been demolished.
This was Bradshawgate which certainly looks busy.
The four-storey buildings with their ornate facades were home to insurance companies and long-established shops.
Does anyone remember The Shirt Company, Campbell’s or even the Northern Fur Company which were all on the street?
