This fascinating photo shows a little piece of history.
Taken in February 1965, it shows what was probably one of the first computers ever to be used by a business in East Lancashire.
Maureen Redmayne was getting to grips with the new terminal which had been recently installed at Belgrave Mills in Darwen.
She was being watched by systems engineer, Les Calvey, office manager William Isherwood and chief engineer Tom Platt.
Do you know of an earlier computer system in use in East Lancs?
