When you lived at 138 Leamington, did you know an elderly couple called Lodge - at 144? They were friends of my mother's - their daughter Jean helped my mum at her ballet school.

@markhjones956 Hi. Mr and Mrs Lodge lived at 136. They were a lovely couple. Fred passed away in 1989 and Beatrice in the early 1990s.

Thank you from a Blackburnian now living in Malta. At 15:46 you rode past the house where I grew up. The Sportsman's Arms became some kind of ice-cream / dessert parlour. All four pubs along Revidge - The Corporation Park, Dog Inn and the West View - have all gone. Sab but inevitable given the demographics.

@markhjones956 Yes, we always give the reasons for such things, but it shouldn't be allowed. I now live in Devon and there's no way the people of Devon would tolerate such a culture change.

I was born In Blackburn at 21 Guide Square in 1951 and attended St Mary's school on Bennington St off Haslingdon Rd. I hardly recognised the place. I lived from the age of 2yrs old in Manxman Rd, Higher Croft and would walk to school with my two older sisters. I , joined the Army at age 151/2 and apart from sporadic visits have have not lived there since. To me it now looks like any other bland. mid sized town with the same boring shopping centre. SORRY. .Good video though. Bring back the green buses on the boulevard. No mention of the Barn cinema over the canal at Ewood where I spent many a rainy Saturday morning watching the latest cowboy film. Innocent times in the 1950s Cheers.

I left Blackburn in 2022 after 59 years there and although I do agree with you about its failing character, it will always be home for me.

My life changed dramatically in 2017 when I lost my dear Wife in a motorcycle incident. Next time I'm in Blackburn, I'll call by that's for sure. I often wonder if they made use of all the wires under the floorboards? I remember labeling all the ends to show what went were. My daughter and I laid all the cables.

Blackburn was a lot better back then demographically speaking. It did look like an English town more or less, now it's like walking through some place in Pakistan, the Middle East or Africa. I don't like seeing all these crowds of foreigners; when I do call in to the town these days I prefer to go down early in the morning or late in the afternoon when the centre is getting more emptier. It's a lot better.

Blackburn town centre is now a shadow of its former self. Most of the decent retailers have left and have been replaced by countless thrift/chatity shops selling dross, slot machines arcades, bookmakers, vape stalls and pawn brokers.

I'm no longer live in Blackburn. I have moved to North Devon after 59 years in Blackburn, born and bred. My life changed beyond recognition in 2017 following life changing injuries in a road traffic incident. Although Blackburn is not the same town now, I do miss the town, and it's familiar feel as well as the surrounding countryside. However, this is my new life now. I wish you all the best for your return to our town. By the way, fortunately, I can get Holland's steak and kidney puddings here from ASDA! 😋

Sadly, by then, Blackburn, together with much of England, will be majority Muslim. I'm hoping I'll be dead by then although in the last few months we have seen the grass roots of what will come. How is it possible that Scotland has an unelected Muslim who's clearly racist against anyone not from his demographic, then you've got the unelected British 'prime minister' who is presiding over the first invasion of England and actively encouraging it, Wales have just apparently elected a Black guy as their leader (I've got nothing against people of colour as long as everything is equal) and of course the biggest clown of them all, Khan of London. So, 4% of the UK population have all power positions. How is this possible? Do they represent the remaining 96%?
