Selling action figures in Bolton
Bolton was one of the great cotton spinning towns and the Victorian mill architecture is still the dominant feature of the skyline. It has a university, a market with a long history and the moors rising directly behind the town.
The centre is compact and the station and interchange sit together, which makes small handovers easy. The terraced streets are narrow with limited parking, so agree access for anything large.
On anything stored in a cellar or an outhouse, check for damp. The terraced housing here has a great deal of unheated storage and it is hard on fabric, particle board and anything with a motor.
Bolton, in England, has around 205,000 people, which means a smaller local market, so price sensibly and expect the right buyer to be willing to travel a little. London, Birmingham and Leeds are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
