Image: © Derek Voller Taken: 6 Jun 1967
Taken in 1967, this cottage hasn't changed its appearance at all in the last forty seven years. It is situated at the junction of Blackpool Valley Road and the now busy A379. Traffic was minimal then. If I'd taken the same shot today then I would have survived just seconds before being flattened by a truck.
