'Turton Tower' is a building that has evolved over the past 600 years from a stone tower house in the 1400s to Tudor Orrell's home and then to the Victorian Kay Families. The tower is nationally significant and unique in Northwest England, still captures the spirit of the Tudor and Victorian ages and displays one of the finest collections of period furniture and paintings in the region. Offers a wide range of quality handmade toys, gifts, novelty goods, and pocket money items. Kids can explore the elements at free of charge by playing outdoors in the forest-inspired play area. Disabled toilets and wheelchair access are available in the grounds outside.

Bolton Town Hall is a famous city Hall. The building has less than 150 years old and has been radically altered several times during its distinguished career. With its classical columns and imposing clock tower, it was an inspiration for many subsequent public buildings in Britain and throughout the Empire. Bolton designed his modest town hall on St George's Street. This building was the township's administrative centre and included the court, police station, and lockup as well. 200 architects were invited to compete for the design contract.
