Photo One is Warner Street - that red brick building is the end of the Arcade.
Photo Two is looking down Peel Street at what is now left of the bus station with what HBC refer to as "the new market development" hidden behind it and a hideous new building on the old market site which houses a few little shops and a Wilkinson's supermarket.
Photo Three - I did an about turn and pointed my lens up Avenue Parade and that is indeed the poor old coppoce covered in alien vegetation (nasty little trees) which totally spoils the whole appearance and completely obliterates the familiar old "eagle"
Photo Four is from the same spot but this time looking up Whalley Road.
Photo Five is the top end of Peel Street - the buildings are more or less what were there in the 60s but the Blackburn Trustee savings Bank is now Lloyds TSB and many years ago it expanded into the next shop.(where you see the scaffolding)

Pleck Road has more or less disappeared now - at the Peel Street end are gates which now lead round to the back of the new and old shops and these are kept locked.
