Bolton
Bolton (, locally ) is a large town in Greater Manchester in North West England, formerly a part of Lancashire. A former mill town, Bolton has been a production centre for textiles since Flemish people, Flemish weavers settled in the area in the 14th century, introducing a wool and cotton-weaving tradition. The urbanisation and development of the town largely coincided with the introduction of textile manufacture during the Industrial Revolution. Bolton was a 19th-century boomtown and, at its zenith in 1929, its 216 cotton mills and 26 bleaching and dyeing works made it one of the largest and most productive centres of Spinning (textiles), cotton spinning in the world. The British cotton industry declined sharply after the First World War and, by the 1980s, cotton manufacture had virtually ceased in Bolton. Close to the West Pennine Moors, Bolton is north-west of Manchester and lies between Manchester, Darwen, Blackburn, Chorley, Bury, Greater Manchester, Bury and ...

Allsorts (TV Series)
''Allsorts'' (later renamed ''Gigglish Allsorts'' in 1994) is a British educational comedy series for children that was produced for ITV by Granada Television. The programmes aired from 7 January 1987 to 12 December 1995 and covered a range of children's learning activities. History In common with many of ITV's educational children's programmes of the era, ''Allsorts'' – first screened in January 1986 – was originally intended to run for only one series while ITV's flagship children's series, ''Rainbow'', was off air that year. The first series ran until July, but despite moderate popularity in its first run, Granada decided not to renew the series and, instead, initially opted in favour of ''Allsorts'' predecessor, the pre-school orientated series '' Our Backyard'' (which had already been on air since August 1984), largely because the latter could be made more quickly and cheaply. But, after failing to attract enough viewers in its third run in late 1986, ''Our Backyard'' w ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
