The Bolton Hotel was situated at 81 Duke Road. This pub closed in 1995 and has now been converted to residential use.

I worked in the Bolton behind the bar from 1987 to mid 1988. The pub was Bing run by a couple from the Black Country called Frank and Flo, ably assisted by the long standing barman Peter, and myself in the evenings when I git home from university. The pub was mainly used by the locals, we even had a disco once a month; the dj being one of the locals, Barny. Nothing much happened while I was there but Flo told me that the rooms above the pub were often used for rehearsals for various BBC comedies, the last one being "Dear John".
