When did Bolton town centre become "somewhere up north"

OK - it's Chorley New Road, just past the Lion of Vienna pub, hang a right into Albert Road. The cobbles have detiriorated a bit recently though...

EEeeee its grim oop north.............But back to "call my bluff" , i think station wagon, came from the days when large ranches and outposts were called "stations" and the horse drawn wagons used to take supplies out, were named "station wagons", if Outbackjack is around he might know

it looks more like newport st in bolton.

According to my Modern Standard Dictionary, which was printed between the wars.

Cabriolet - derives from the French word cabriole, or old French capriole and means in french an agile leap. And in French Latin, capra which is a she goat.
Shortened to Cab in English and means a hackney carraige drawn by one horse; the covered part of a locomotive.
In Hebrew it is a dry measure, containing two and five sixths of a pint.

Tilt - derives from the Anglo saxon word teld, a tent. The French word teldan, to cover. And the German word zelt, a tent.
In English it is the cloth covering of a waggon; a small awning extending over the stern sheets of a boat.
The verb means to cover with an awning.
And a Tilt-Roof is a round topped roof, shaped like a waggon cover.
