Barbara Castle Way, Blackburn, 1991
This photograph records a major change in Blackburn town centre.
Taken on September 23, 1991, it shows some of the first vehicles travelling along the inner relief road which had opened that morning.
Named Barbara Castle Way in honour of the town’s former MP, the road kept through traffic out of the town centre.
The photographer also took a picture of the new road sign which was then stuck on to the main photo when it was used in that night's Evening Telegraph
