On August bank holiday Monday, 25th, the East Lancs Railway held their annual Teddy Bears’ Picnic, where small children clutching their own little teddy bears, were able to take a train ride along the East Lancs railway line.
In the Transport Museum across the road from the Bolton Street Station, children’s author, D M Rivers, manned a stall selling his books, and Touchstones member, Val Chapman, read chapters of the stories in Book One of Sleepy, the Magical Bear.
