Peek into the Past

Victorian heritage of Padiham Road, Burnley IF you look closely at the picture we publish today it might be possible for you to see that the makers of the card, on which the photo is based, have made a simple mistake.

Burnley in 2009 is much better than Burnley in 1950s IF an image in this long-running series had the capacity to "take me back" this is it. You are looking at an aerial photo of part of Burnley town centre as it was just about half a century ago.

Burnley's tram system A POSTCARD view of Manchester Road, Burnley, recently published in this column (No. 547) elicited a few helpful comments in response to my admission I have not studied the more technical side of the introduction of trams into Burnley.

History of the Oaks Hotel or 'Tay-pot Hall' AS the writer of Peek Into The Past I realise readers like to read about anniversaries of which there are inevitably many. I know I have missed a few but one has recently come to my notice with which many of you will connect.
