Bolton

Situated in the northwest of England, Bolton is a large town with a population of around 140,000. Once one of the largest and most prolific hub of cotton manufacturing in the world (owing somewhat to the damp climate which aided cotton spinning), Bolton grew rapidly as a textile mill town during the 19th century. It is now a mecca for retail and service-based industries (the origin and home of the Reebok label), as well as a bustling centre for tourism. According to a recent survey of the British Association for the Advancement of Science, Boltonians are the friendliest people in Britain.

 

Italian Testimonials

"This is just a quick note to say thank you for arranging our Italian classes. We really enjoyed them and we liked Maria very much. We are interested in having some more lessons, perhaps once a week now. We'd like them to focus on conversation so that we can practise what we've learned so far."
