Back to Blackburn

Blackburn Corporation (1964 slogan, “in touch with tomorrow”) opened its new markets in November 1964 and in 2013, shortly before it was demolished, our Jack visited Blackburn Market with his Kodak Brownie . Here are a few of his snaps showing the market and its distinctive hypar shell roof, as the stalls were emptied and the traders prepared to move on.
