A HERD of around 20 deer were seen wandering around a Bolton housing estate for more than an hour during a snow shower this week. The animals were spotted on the Oldhams estate in Astley Bridge as the snow fell heavily at around 10.30pm on Wednesday, January 20. The deer took advantage of the quiet streets for their urban wintry wander. The area is close to the Smithills estate and the woodland and moors there are thought to be their more natural habitat. They were captured on CCTV by householder Mark Whittaker, who observed them for around an hour from his home near Barlow Park.
