Blackburn Road, Haslingden, 1998
Storm warnings are all too common nowadays, but bad weather has caused problems across East Lancashire for many years.
This photo shows drivers easing their way through a seriously flooded stretch of Blackburn Road in Haslingden following torrential rain in October 1998.
The road, close to Winfield’s, would become impassable for a while with several cars having to be abandoned.
