Higher Church St viewed from Astley Gate - 1963

Higher Church St looking down towards the junctions of King William St, Church St and Darwen St.

Northgate is off to the left and the photographer would have been stood on Astley Gate outside of The Sun and/or The Swan pubs.

VERY TEMPERAMENTAL IS THE LAST COMMENTS APP. IF SOMETIMES THERE ARE NO COMMENTS IN THE COLUMN, CALL BACK IN A DAY OR TWO AND IT WILL PROBABLY HAVE RECTIFIED ITSELF. ANY COMMENTS LEFT, WILL ALWAYS APPEAR UNDER THE POSTING THOUGH (ONCE THEY'VE BEEN MODERATED OF COURSE - USUALLY HAPPENS WITHIN 24 HRS). To view a recent comment, clicking on the comment after the word WROTE will take you to that particular comment under the posting it refers to. Then just scroll up to view earlier comments under the same image. Clicking on the posting's title, just below the comment, will take you to the picture at the top of the post (then just scroll down to view any comments). IF ON A POSTING THE IMAGE ISN'T THERE, THEN JUST CLICK ON THE SMALL SQUARE (SOMETIMES HAS A RED X IN IT) AND THE IMAGE SHOULD APPEAR. IT'S A TECHNICAL FAULT, BEYOND MY CONTROL.
