Dist:0.3km<br/>This view of Bradford Road looking up towards Plodder Lane is unusally quiet for a rush-hour Monday morning - it was the 3rd August - peak holiday time.

Dist:0.4km<br/>Generally a busy junction - the right filter here takes traffic upto the Royal Bolton Hospital and, in term time, to a large secondary school and Bolton's Science & Technology Centre.

Dist:0.5km<br/>This relatively new building was previously known as the TIC centre and is one of Bolton Council's leading resource centres. As with all public buildings today those who insist on smoking appear outside the front door to indulge their habit. The next major building up Minerva Road is the Royal Bolton Hospital - quite handy.

Dist:0.5km<br/>The Science and Technology Centre, on Minerva Road, was formerly known as the "Technology Innovation Centre" (TIC). According to its website (http://www.help4me.info/service.aspx?serviceid={88c312b5-19fd-49d4-a059-9853b3c51839} ), "Bolton Technical Innovation Centre is the UK's first 'junior incubator' - a purpose-built academy for young inventors and future entrepreneurs." Unfortunately, cutbacks initiated by the coalition Government's spending review mean that the teaching and learning aspect of the centre is being axed. However, the centre will continue to offer conferencing facilities, at least for the short term future. (http://www.theboltonnews.co.uk/news/8372389.Science_centre_for_for_city_centre_riot_schools_is_victim_of_council_cuts/ - The Bolton News). The shutters are up today as it is a bank holiday! The building lies across the OS grid line; the front of the building and its east side lie in SD7206, whilst the back and west side are in SD7106 ([[[2218952]]])
