There is a photo of this shop with staff standing outside on the Bolton web site recommended.

What fantastic photographs!!

I don't come from Bolton but used to love going shopping there - and I see the jewellers 'Preston's' -- Wow -- we bought my wedding ring there many, many moons ago.

Thank you so much for the memories (even though it wasn't my query in the first place!)

I too obtained my engagement and wedding rings from Preston's of Bolton!  I come from Bolton but no longer live there.

Oh Susan - what a coincidence! I always remember driving into the centre and Prestons being on the corner as I went towards the car park under the shopping precinct.

It was a landmark for me. Such a shame - that like so many shops, it is no longer there.
