MYSTERY OBJECTS

[Steeplejerk]

Is it a supermarket

[Stanley]

No Tom. Look at what it is selling and concentrate on that. The answer stares out of the image, look at the right hand window....

[Steeplejerk]

Sausages

[Gloria]

A bacon slicer?

[PanBiker]

Also sausages although they don't have to be pork.

[Steeplejerk]

Charcuterie sells cooked meats mainly pork,could it be kosher pork

[Stanley]

You've got it Tom. A Jewish friend of mine found the shop in Paris and they were selling mainly pork products. She came from New York and the concept of Kosher pork products was beyond her understanding!
Next one?

[Tizer]

Where and when was this photo taken? It's not in Barlick but not far away either...

[PanBiker]

Blackburn or is it Colne in the 1930's?

[Stanley]

Looks like Colne to me and Ian could be right with his 1930s. Is it Windy Bank?

[Big Kev]

Hargreaves Street, Colne? I will defer to Stanley and Ian for when.

[PanBiker]

It's probably Monday as well.

[Big Kev]

It's probably Monday as well.

Washing day?

[PanBiker]

Aye.

[Steeplejerk]

Bit silly hanging your washing on a Monday when they fire the boilers up at the mills

[Big Kev]

[Tizer]

Yes, it's Colne but not Hargreaves Street. Rightmove doesn't show any entries for the street so I assume the area has been re-developed

[Gloria]

Ivegate?

[Tizer]

No Gloria, it has `Street' in it's name. I've just added in my above post: `Rightmove doesn't show any entries for the street so I assume the area has been re-developed'. And Ian was right about 1930s, it was taken in 1932.

[Wendyf]

I think it might be one of the streets off Windybank, I'm off to look at a map...

Lister Street taken from Windy Bank.

[plaques]

Next street to Lister St... High St. Using a reverse image to put the back to back houses on the right hand side.

[Wendyf]

Ooh! That's the description on the Colne Library collection, could be wrong though.

[Wendyf]

High Street from Windy Bank.

[Big Kev]

I only mentioned Hargreaves Street as it was used as one of the locations in Monty Python's The Meaning of Life, I had no idea really
