Boys Meet The Mayor and Mayoress of Bolton

Tuesday, 27 February 2007

As part of their Citizenship studies, Year 6 boys at Bolton School enjoyed an afternoon at Bolton's Town Hall.

They received a guided tour of the Town Hall and were entertained by the Mayor, Councillor Walter Hall and the Lady Mayoress. In what was a very enjoyable afternoon, the boys learnt about the history of Bolton and famous townsmen like Lord Leverhulme. They heard about the silverware on display and inspected the Lord Mayor's Gold Chains and badges.  They also visited the Council Chamber and gained an insight into the election and workings of the Council.
