Many years ago, I recall standing Blackburn Market as my Saturday school job.
Mary, Tommy's wife also stood with second shoes, which Tommy was out and about shrewdly buying - my boss was jealous of that crowded stall!

Many years later when I was travelling about the country, and told folk I came from Blackburn, they would say 'that's Tommy Ball's town isn't it?'
He certainly put us on the map. Cheers Tommy.
