FIRST with the answer last week was Lynne Jackson, who correctly named Richmond Terrace, in Blackburn.
The row of red brick, Georgian-style homes was built in the mid 1830s and was the first purpose-built middle class residential scheme to be erected in the town.
It attracted many of the wealthiest merchants and cotton manufacturers away from King Street, but within six decades they had moved again into more suburban areas.
The buildings were eventually converted and occupied by professional uses.
Today, Richmond Terrace stands in a conservation area, which also includes St John's Church, built as a chapel of ease for the parish church in 1789.
