Who knew that resurfacing work was a spectator sport?

Lancashire Telegraph: Resurfacing Blackburn Boulevard

This photo shows bitumen being laid at the Boulevard in Blackburn. We don’t have a date for the photo but we’d guess maybe the late Forties or early Fifties.

It had certainly pulled in quite a crowd.
