Erstwhile centre of the Lancashire cotton industry, Bolton had to come to terms with rapid expansion and population growth in the nineteenth century. The twentieth century saw the town coming to terms with this growth and the inevitable changes and today is less industrialised and hard edged and altogether a greener and more sanitary place. Local photographers, Ray Jefferson and Jeff Layer know the city's streets and squares, its lanes and alleyways. Charged with capturing the essence of the city, they have turned their cameras on its inhabitants, the people who make the city what it is today. These are the people you'll find in these pages - the shop-keepers, school-teachers, businessmen and women, nurses, buskers, restaurant owners, students, and street performers, all of them taking pleasure in being a part of this Lancashire town and sharing their stories.
