Blackburn, Corporation Park, The Entrance 1923

More about this scene
Here we see the entrance lodge to Corporation Park. No expense was spared in the making of the park and its lodge. The Borough coat of arms and its motto, 'Arte et Labore', is cut into the stone, along with the name of the park over the entrance arch. In the 1950s over 35% of jobs in Blackburn were in engineering, 20% in textiles, and the rest in paper, beer and plastics.
