Hi Paul. Reference to Salt Pie Row, Bolton map of 1882, shows it off 79 Blackburn Street, (now Deane Road). present location would be between the present University and Joshua Crook Mill.. Salt Pie Row no longer exists. If you remember Bolton, the Regent Cinema was at the end of the street, on Deane Road.
