More about this scene
This picture gives us a brief glimpse into the daily life of some of Burnley's people. Notice the woman, right, with the umbrella near the bollard at the top of Saunder Bank. In the middle of the road two young men, one with a bike, chat together. In front of them a little girl may have been asked to stand there by the photographer for the benefit of the composition, but one wonders if she is aware of what she is doing! The cart, left, was the usual way of carrying light loads around the town centre, but the carters often had difficulty on Manchester Road.
