Blackburn, 1989
The view over Blackburn from Haslingden Road in 1989.
In the foreground is the floodlit golf driving range which subsequently gave way to Blackburn Central High School.
Cicely Mill had recently been demolished when this photo was taken - you can see its footprint centre left. The Leeds-Liverpool Canal is on the left of the picture and on the horizon you can make out the tower of St James’ Church which is still standing today
