READERS have shown much interest in our recent nostalgic images highlighting the changing face of Blackburn centre in the early sixties.

So, here's another one today - and maybe those of a certain age who are familiar with how it once looked, will be able to mull it over it and remember the old streets and buildings, now long gone.

Fortunately, while this area of town has obviously been razed by the bulldozers and appears to have been turned into a very large car park, Telegraph staff who came before us have left pointers, to usher us in the right direction.

Taken in 1962, we reckon the photograph, shows us the part of town that was to be developed for the new-look market hall. While the site has been cleared, building work has not yet got under way.

Marked for future reference is Ainsworth Street on the left, Water Street on the right and Regent Street in the centre.

The old coach station still stands with its corrugated roof, while part of the empty land has become an open air depot for Blackburn transport buses.

On the skyline to the right is St Alban's Church at Larkhill, while Brownhill and Wilpshire sit on the horizon.
