Blackburn Boulevard, 1975
At 9.20 any other morning, Blackburn Boulevard would have been full of buses.
But on May 10, 1975, the town’s main bus station was deserted as Blackburn Corporation bus drivers called a one-day strike.
It’s a great photo showing the ornamental roundabouts at either end of the Boulevard with the station on the left and the Palace Cinema, back right.
