In 1947, Turton Urban District Council published "A Town Plan for the Urban District of Turton", which was the work of the Council's Engineer and Surveyor, Reginald Dart.  It showcased Dart's vision of what Turton could look like, with a new town centre, complete with civic buildings, cinemas, shops and offices.
