The new sports arena at Leverhulme Park taking shape in 1986.
The all-weather athletics track cost around £420,000 and when this aerial photograph was taken in July it was hoped that it would be ready to host the finishing line for the Bolton Marathon the following month.
The road running across the picture is Long Lane, Breightmet.
What else do you recognise on the photo?
