| A recent trip took me to East Lancashire and the town of Burnley. Unfortunately the weather was not very kind! There was a combination of rain, sleet and snow and the light levels were very poor for photography, so what you see is what I saw! The first image shows the modern Bus Station in Burnley, shortly after I had arrived from Preston. The Bus Station replaced an older, outdated one, in 2002, costing £3m to build. |
 |
| In view of the cold and inclement weather, there were few folk around in Burnley town centre. |
 |
| There are some fine buildings in the town. This one is the Boot Inn, a Grade Two listed building dating from 1911, and part of the J.D. Wetherspoon pub chain. |
 |
| Sleet was falling again as I took this photo of the Bandstand in St. James Street. |
 |
| Not really the ideal day for an outdoor market. |
 |
| A deserted town centre. |
 |
| The Swan. |
 |
| Burnley Town Hall on Manchester Road. |
 |
| A closer look at the clock tower. |
 |
| Pedestrianisation of the town centre, but unfortunately not many pedestrians! |
 |
| Entrance to Charter Walk Shopping Centre. |
 |
| Burnley Football Club were due to play at Queen's Park Rangers. (Part 2 of the visit to Burnley will be featured tomorrow). |
The weather has certainly kept the people at home. Some fine buildings, one looks quite "Art Deco"
