Blackburn
Old photographs allow us to relive the past a little and this excellent collection of more than 200 photographs of Blackburn will bring back memories for many.The author has chosen the earliest images of the town for the book from his own extensive collection of old picture postcards and used a selection of press photographs borrowed from the photo-archives of Wally and Howard Talbot to provide some very evocative images of Blackburn in the 1950s and 60s.Through these pages the reader has the opportunity to see again the old Blackburn, its industry, schools, churches, theatres and people, at work and play, and, perhaps most poignantly of all, old streets and buildings that were lost in the great demolition days of the 1960s. This is a timely volume that will appeal to all Blackburnians, young and old.

20th Century Blackburn
"20th Century Blackburn", is the story of Blackburn during the most tumultuous century in human history. In eleven chapters, we witness triumphs and disasters, in the story of the town and its people. The introductory chapter takes us from the jubilant celebrations at the end of the nineteenth century, to the eve of the First World War. Chapter Two leads us through the years of the First World War and from there we travel, decade by decade, through the immediate aftermath of the war, the great depression and onward into the thirties, as war clouds gathered once more over Europe. The dark years of the Second World War and the subsequent struggle for recovery, are followed by yet more change in the sixties and seventies, then the battle for survival in the eighties, becoming revival in the nineties. As great events washed over the town, the people persevered and often against the odds, overcame great difficulties to emerge in the third Millennium with renewed vigour. "20th Century Blackburn" is replete with many illustrations of people and events which have shaped the town, the majority of which have never been previously published.
