Jumbles Postcards - Early 1900s

The Jumbles valley was chosen as the site for a reservoir, and on 25 May 1964, the land and premises making up the old Horrobin Mill Bleachworks were sold to the Mayor, Aldermen and Burgesses of the County Borough of Bolton [The Corporation] for £8,050.  Work began in August 1967 and it was completed in August 1970.
