Seems like a million years ago, it's all so bloody sad! How far has the area fallen, all through the loss of jobs.

I'm not sure where the first 'scene' was shot, but the latter bit is on Blackburn Road. You can see the Town Hall in the background to the right of shot.

The truth about the Mitchell and Kenyon Film find is incorrect you can find the full facts at the Gregory Audio Visual Website under "News Tab"

Yes I think they were in steel drums and discovered when an old shop was being cleared out

I m sure these are the films that were found in Blackburn about 10 years ago.I think some one pulled them out of a skip
