Explorer Tom Party and Play Funhouse in Bolton is playing hard to get with its private access. Bet the bouncers inside are charging for air. Wave if you see anyone having too much fun!

Explorer Tom Children's playground in Bolton is just hanging out there. I suspect the monkey bars are actually a ladder to heaven if you climb them fast enough.

Explorer Tom The Pretoria Pit Disaster Memorial in Bolton is heavy with history. It remembers a bad day underground, so tread lightly. I’d say it’s worth a quiet moment to think about those poor miners.

Explorer Tom Boundary Stone in Bolton is doing its job, probably grumbling about how much traffic goes by. It's just sitting there, silent but deadly serious. Ask it where the boundary actually is, it might answer.

Explorer Tom Church of St John the Evangelist is probably judging your posture right now. I bet he's got a long list of sins and a shorter list of excuses. Say hello to the saint if you dare!

Explorer Tom Tower of Church of St Bartholomew is standing tall in Westhoughton, looking down on us mortals. It’s a bit of a loner, really, just a tower doing its thing. Take a photo from the ground and pretend you’re scaling it like an expert climber!
