Taking the camera around the city streets to record some of the changing architecture happening during the massive redevelopment of the central area. Once a thriving mill town Blackburn was hit hard when this industry failed. It has one of the highest Muslem communities in England yet in the centre of the city you would not appreciate this. Opened today, 1st June 2011, the new market hall beneath the existing shopping mall sees the fruition of one of the biggest redevelopment projects so far.

I was born in Blackburn, Lancs. It is mostly unrecognizable to me these days. I now live in Victoria, Australia. Funnily enough, I have a client company that is in Blackburn, a suburb of Melbourne. I enjoyed my visit to the "old Blackburn"

Blackburn isn’t so bad. Yeah, I know it’s got loads of empty shops but that’s not Blackburn’s fault. It’s a national thing. Outside some of the more affluent pockets nowhere in the uk has yet got a grip on that problem.

Great Images, however Blackburn biggest mistake was allowing the old market to be demolished, and replacing it with the soulless precinct.

@orthusnet Thanks for the feedback, appreciated. I don't have a D5100. I had Nikon D90 and D5000 but honestly for video they were hopeless and just a gimmick. I know Nikon have made several improvements but I've now gone the Canon EOS 550D and 60D route. They are much better but you are still limited to short clip lengths of 12 minutes before they overheat & shuts down. I have the Panasonic GH1 and that is far better and i'm considering the GH2 for autofocus video. My SD700 camcorder is still #1

@orthusnet No, you can shoot continuously upto the file size limit of 2GB or 29 minute 59seconds in Europe without any problem and the bit rate is now 24Mbps so the quality is much improved over the "un-hacked GH1"

According to my father, this just might be my ancestral home. I would love to visit there someday. Does anyone know how i might be able to find out if this is my ancestral home? I must know. Any help will be greatly appreciated. You may contact me on Face Book/Richard Turner. I now live in Pompano Beach, Florida, U.S.A. Thank you very much.
