Wonderful photos...Isn't it great when you can look at a photo maybe 90 yrs old or more and recognise the area and appreciate how it has changed and sometimes where it hasnt changed. I look at the pics and see the people and think "I wonder who you were and where did you live, and how old would you be now...100...110....isn't nostalgia a wonderful thing?

Looks like the site owner has thrown his dummy out of his pram and closed it down

Here is a link saying why Olive Green and Ivory - A history of Blackburn Trams and Buses

When he says the few have spoilt it for the many I think he should have said the one, as in he has spoilt it

Re: Trams, Blackburn Road, 1928.
 

So some people that want to keep and share a few old photos took a few. He's talking like its a big huge copyright scale with ££££££££ in losses

Now there is a bus/tram spotter in action! sad sad person.
