Dutton Street

That was lovely, Willow. I must admit that I thought that the street was much longer and happen it had cobbles in those days. It's so annoying that your memory is so selective.
I've spent quite a bit of time thinking back since I started using this site and something struck me earlier.........wasn't the Blackburn Mecca called 'The Golden Palms' or similar in the late sixties. I seem to remember palm trees of some sort in there. It's a shame we can't time travel............would be nice to see who remembered who!

it would be more interesting to see who recognised who .......over the years since my Accy Con/Blue Dahlia days my trouser size has changed about 8 times, all over 30" (the inside leg has stayed the same)

That bee is looking worse for wear. We were at Ossy Mills today and saw the poor delapidated thing. One of its knee lights has fallen off and the paint is peeling and faded.
 
I'm pretty sure there was a picture of dutton street in Andy's Florist.. i'll ask my dad about it and see if he can dig it out :)
 
Great pics will but how depressing it looks to when the cafe and the the other shops were there makes you want to resurect L.S Lowery to do a painting.
 
missed this one for some reason? great pics willow, used to love the dahlia it was chris the owner and he was greek i think, had a great florist andys i think only gone in recent times, would love it if anyone had photos from the sunken bogs days.:) not forgetting the tax office that was the downside.:D
