1960`S
Next time I'm in Burnley I'll look in Burnley Library at the old papers round that date. Alternatively an e-mail to the Burnley Express might help you out. |
Wow, The things people keep records of
. 16th May puts this a month prior to my 6th B'day. Looking at the picture, the amount of foliage on the background trees and the fact that coats are the order of the day, it looks pretty damn good as the likely date - cheers for that, I would never have thought of scouring a trainspotters listing although I did see The Queen getting of the Royal Train in Clitheroe in the 90's.
To keep the thread alive does anyone else have an interesting old pic for the "Time Team"" to investigate?
