ITEMS showing what life was like in Victorian Blackburn have been uncovered at a new housing development.
While excavating land at The Orchard, in Laburnum Road, Little Harwood, a construction team came across a Victorian tip which contained everything from bottles and hand-made leather boots, to clothing and oyster shells.
A selection of the items can be seen at ‘A Load of Old Rubbish?’ exhibition which opens at Blackburn Museum and Art Gallery on Saturday, December 6.
