Mother and Child in Cardwell Place
The larger-than-life size statue "Mother and Child" was created in 1974 by Welsh artist Robert Thomas.
Robert Thomas, who died in 1999, was commissioned by development company John Laing to create Mother and Child for £2,000. The statue was gifted to Blackburn with Darwen Council by its then owners, The Mall and caused a stir when it was first erected, as the woman had not been wearing a wedding ring.
It was moved in August 2007 from Lord Square Image to make way for the redevelopment of the Mall shopping centre.
In 2012 it was repositioned on Cardwell Place.
The sculptor’s wife Mary Thomas and her son Derw – who was two when they modelled for the sculpture attended the unveiling. (Source: Lancashire Telegraph).

This granite fountain inscribed "Erected by the friends of the late George Dewhurst" was originally placed in a wall of the old market house in Blackburn in 1858. In 1935 it was moved to a new position underneath Darwen Street bridge where it had fallen into a somewhat dilapidated state. http://www.cottontown.org/page.cfm?LANGUAGE=eng&pageID=2970
