Life In A Northern Town

Another slide show I've put together. Some of the images you may already have seen, but there's a few you may not have.


Music is from The Dream Academy  ''Life In A Northern Town''

  1. I enjoyed this video Colin, well done Bud. Did you ever get an answer as to where that photograph of the church procession was taken ?

  2. Thanks John. I enjoyed putting it together.

    No I never got an answer. Facebook is like that isn't it. Everything is very transitory. Things move on very quickly.

    I don't think it is Blackburn. The seller on eBay said it was Blackburn, but I had my doubts, which is why I didn't buy it (I ''borrowed'' it). It's the sort of procession that used to go on, even right into the late 1960's in our town and I suppose every town, so sort of fits the theme of the slide show.

    I know some suggested Whalley N. Rd or Whalley Range and I can see why they'd think that, but I know that area pretty well and I'm quite certain it's not (unless it had changed drastically by the time I was growing up, which I don't think it has).

  3. I know what you mean as to the sellers description Colin. I think there are a couple of books on eBay which come up when you type Blackburn into the search box, but they're about a Blackburn in Scotland somewhere.Still like you say it fits in well with the rest of slides, and what's wrong with a bit of poetic licence eh !!

  4. I have a very old glass bottle stamped LION BREWERY BLACKBURN. It has a small spout on the top of the neck.
    I wonder if a collector would be interested in it.
