Oh my great goodnight........I remember nearly all of them.......only the last one which relates to the RLS do I have some difficulty with.
I feel positively ancient now!
I'm off now to see if I can find the phyllosan(fortifies the over forties)...or maybe a glass of Sanatogen and a lie down, eh!

Remember quite a few, apart from the last pic second set, was only the "Clock Garage" on that un, though Brazendales was Blackburn.

used to live right across the road from Alan E Dents electrical shop.

What a lovely thread, Anzac, bringing back many memories.

Love the F. Lewis advert with the heading of 'Gay Holidays' ... obviously in the truer meaning of the word...

If you look at the address it was the same firm, 57/59 Abbey st, both adverts are side by side on the first one.
Once had a right barny with Relay Vision, their main transmitter was somewhere near Rileys Hill, & at weekend the bloke in charge would switch off & go to the pub, got fed up, Haslingden has just installed a relay from Winter Hill & I bought an aerial and could get a decent signal. Rang Relay to remove their wiring from our house, they refuse & said I would still have to pay, so ripped all their cabling down, rang them again & told them it was now blocking the road, they arrive double quick & rerouted their cables.
