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.
