Unless, of course, we're going back to the 1930's.....hells bells, Cashy, you're looking well for your age.

He's right, the Blackburn bus stop was on Union Street roughly where the Arndale entrance is now. This was before the bus station was built, so it would be pre-1962. There were sunken gardens where the Arndale is and a row of old cottages across the road where the shops are now. The Rawtenstall/Bacup bus stop was in front of the town hall and the Moscow Mill and Willows Lane bus stops were across the road.
Yeah, I know...sad...very sad.
