The fascinating selection of old pictures traces the recent history and major changes that have taken place in the two adjoining towns of Atherton and Tyldesley, situated on the eastern side of Wigan Borough.
Known locally as ''Bent'' and ''Bongs'', the neighbourng communities of Atherton and Tyldesley have witnessed a rapid growth in development from their origins as alrgely agricultural communities, with the industrial revolution of the mid-nineteenth century bringing cotton mills, collieries and iron works, the main source of employment, to this area of Lancashire.
Illsutrated with over 200 archive photographs, the majprity of which have been drawn form the local material held by Wigan Heritage Service, as well as from private collections, this intriguing book documents the changes in transport, education, local trades and business, as well as the effect of war on the two towns and their inhabitants. This book is a valuable pictorial history which is sure to reawaken nostalgic memories for some, while offering a unique glimpse into the past for others.
