Department store terracotta

Department store terracotta
The Whitakers department store in Bolton expanded into a large buff terracotta-faced building in 1920. This was extravagantly decorated with towers and domes and covered in a wide range of ornamentation. By the time of this view the shop was trading as Beales and closure came in 2016. The building has since been divided into a range of retail units.
