This photo was taken looking along St George’s Road, Bolton , in 1984. St George's Road, Bolton, 1984 It’s an interesting enough view but what makes it particularly fascinating is the petrol station on the left. Look at the prices being advertised.
For four star - this was before the days of unleaded petrol - it was 39.5p a litre, more than a pound a litre less than today. Back then it was the price per gallon which everyone took notice of - 179.
6 for four star. On the right of the photo, we've got a little teaser for Looking Back readers. Can you identify the distinctive building with the domed tower?.
