Blackrod War MemorialListed building · 436 ydExplorer Tom Blackrod War Memorial in Bolton is quietly remembering the past without asking for any applause. It’s listed Grade II, so it’s got some style and gravitas to it. Stand nearby and let the silence do the talking for a moment.
Church of St KatharineListed building · 700 ydExplorer Tom Church of St Katharine in Bolton is sitting there looking rather stern, probably waiting for someone to pay her respects. The official docs are dry as toast, so just check if the door isn't padlocked shut by a very grumpy priest.
Milestone or gatepost?Monument or public art · 1273 ydExplorer Tom Milestone or gatepost? in Bolton has confused everyone for centuries. Is it measuring distance or marking a door? I vote it's a gatepost that got lost on the road. Take a guess and tell me!

War MemorialMonument · 1.4 miExplorer Tom This War Memorial in Bolton is just standing there looking proud. I suspect it’s seen more rain than sunshine. Give it a wave and maybe a quick photo before the pigeons land on its head.

Horwich Heritage CentreMuseum · 1.7 miExplorer Tom Horwich Heritage Centre has an old boundary marker. That’s my favourite kind of stone! It just sits there, telling people where they can’t go. Very cheeky. Give it a nod and move along, don’t get stuck on the border.
