Re: were is this ?

Here is a smashing view, which may help you to decipher things.

"Broadway was transformed beyond recognition during the course of the 20th century. The road layout altered in the 30's when Broadway was built to link Blackburn Road and Whalley Road. This opened summer of 1936. It involved the culverting of the river Hyndburn and the demolition of properties i.e. SPRING MILL buildings. Spring Mill was a HUGE town centre weaving mill. It was a four storey building and was purchased by the Corporation in 1920. Closed approx 1930. Complete demolition took place in the early 1930's. The old Thwaites pub on the corner of Broadway and Blackburd Rd was also demolished. The new cinema, the Odeon, opened 1937 (originally called The Regal)"
