Darwen Street looking towards King William Street (1940's)

This is a busy looking Darwen Street in the 1940's, with the General Post Office (now the Postal Order pub) on the right. The tall and fancy looking chimneys above the tram, are the chimneys of the Old Bull Hotel. In the far distance, over the rooftops of King William Street, you can see the rising ball and steeple of the Market Hall clock tower.
