Burnley, Municipal College c.1955

More about this scene
The original entrance to the college was intended to be from Ormerod Road, as the impressive doorway indicates. To the right are the trees of Thompson Park — it was fortunately among them that Burnley's only Second World War bomb fell. The street with the EWS (Emergency Water Supply) sign on the wall (the top edges of the letters are just visible bottom left in the Detail) is Shorey Street, which leads to the river. The Shorey Well was situated nearby.
