Aerial photo of Ewood Park, Blackburn, 1989 This photo taken in May 1989 gives us a great view of Blackburn Rovers’ Ewood Park ground. The season had just ended and you can see the wear and tear on the playing surface with bald patches in the goalmouths and around the centre circle. You can see how the ground nestled among the terraced houses in Ewood. On the right is Bolton Road and, top right, is the former St Bartholomew’s Church which was demolished in 2008.

Trafalgar flats, Burnley, 1993 This photo from October 1993 shows part of the Trafalgar flats complex in Burnley which was reaching the end of its life. Trafalgar Gardens had been built in 1968 and was seen as a creative solution to the town’s housing problems. But by 1994 all that remained were large piles of rubble as the flats were demolished. Here you can see the garages belonging to some of the flats and the small play area which seems to include some large concrete pipes.
