Urban walls - change of purpose
Image: © John Tustin Taken: 23 Feb 2010
Mytton Street in Padiham shows clear evidence of continuing urban change. Old cobbles are used to build the slope from the "new" car park to the footpath. The wall, on inspection, shows much earlier changes in purpose with doorways and hatches filled in with contemporary stone.
