I was born in Darwen in 1957, immigrated in 1968. Visit there every year. It will always be my home. Canadian now but I will always have my Darwen routes.
A simple video showing that Blackburn could be much better. That lady from Manchester who thinks the architecture is great, she clearly doesn't know what the town looked like before the crimes committed by the Labour council over the last 50 years or so! Just imagine what Thwaites' arcade would be like now! I've lived in Blackburn all my life and so I think my comments are supported by most Blackburnians who are of the similar age, late 50s? Thanks for posting your video Paul, I'm in no way criticising you. I have done the same, first being in 1995 and then 2015.
I lived in blackburn for 50years from birth and i am glad to say i dont live there anymore the town is dead with no character at all. I used to be proud to say i was from Blackburn but now i cannot stand the place. Jack Straw ruined it for me being racist to its original pride and cultures
