Does anyone have any information - old photographs - newspaper articles
etc. on either the Bury Bolton Canal or the area known as Nob End or the
former Nob Inn Pub at the end of Boscow Road.

I have some photographs and articles going back to the turn of the
century but my information is patchy to say the least and would
appreciate any other info.

You're taking the piss. No way is there a place on God's earth called
Nob End. Knob End perhaps.

Hi Trevor,

A late friend of my fathers did quite a lot or research on the Bolton,
Bury & Manchester canal and I think I've got quite a bit of info that
was passed on to me of the Nob End area. I'll have a look what I've got.

Charlie.

If you input 'Nob End' and 'Bury' into a decent search engine you'll get a
couple of dozen hits.

Ignore the prick. He's a sad case for a human and has nothing better
to do than "attempt" to wind ppl up. He is scum of the higest
order.....
