Don Tonge has been photographing his hometown of Bolton since the late 1960s. Starting out as an amateur, he won a photography competition organised by Granada Television in 1981. This launched his career as a press and theatre photographer. For this exhibition, Don has selected his favourite images from a single decade: the 1970s. Don said: “It was in the late 1960s that I got the photography bug. I would wander the streets as there was always something happening: a man carrying a table top on his shoulders, football supporters balanced precariously on a high wall or kids playing and shouting, ‘Hey mister, take our photo!’
