Alan.....here are the pictures you requested.
There is nothing where the Load of Mischief Garage and Pub were, just a brick wall, likewise for the Carlton Picture place.
There is a picture of Henry St..Long Row, the butty shop used to be Thornbers Chemists.
I have taken a shot of Blackburn Road too, the new red brick houses stand on the site that used to be the corner shop and the bit of spare land.

St James school is now St James Church.......I got pictures of the school yard, being used as a car park......something going on in the Church.

I hope these were something like what you wanted, sorry to hear that you won't be able to make it back here for a visit, but as you can see from the pics, you aren't missing a great deal from the geography point of view, although I'm sure your family will be disappointed.
