Ainsworth Street, Blackburn – 1973

Image: © Alan Murray-Rust Taken: 7 Apr 1973

Ainsworth Street served effectively as a bus station for the Corporation's services, although there was a separate bus station https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/6746599 used by other operators opposite the railway station. The Co-op buildings on the right have been replaced with more modern retail buildings, the left hand carriageway has been built over by the modern bus station, and the right hand carriageway is pedestrianised. The footbridge, linking to a multi-storey car park, from which this view was taken, has also disappeared. This is one of a series of views featuring buses in the 60s, 70s, and 80s. http://www.geograph.org.uk/search.php?i=137652761
