A familiar sight to shoppers in Blackburn for a number of years, this is Lord Square photographed in 1970 not long after the ‘new-look’ shopping centre was built.

The distinctive entrance to The Cavendish nightclub - The Cav to regulars - and the white tiled facade were all part of the centre’s design. At the foot of the staircase at this time was Glen Mill Carpets and a flower shop.
