Several Bolton pubs are mentioned in the book. Some have survived while others have made way for new uses.

Two photos of the Swan Hotel and Churchgate. The one on the left is from a family album and is obviously a record of some sort of event. Undated but pre-WW2. The other one looks like early 1930s and shows the Swan Hotel, Bradshawgate side. The Swan is still operating.
Photos of the Duke of Connaught have been elusive. Below is a contemporary map showing the location of the pub, mission hall, gasholder and streets and roads mentioned in the book. The Duke was demolished in the 1970s to make way for a sliproad into Bolton (A666, St. Peter’s Way). Historic England also have an archive of aerial photographs from the period.
