More about this scene

The Duke of York is one of Burnley's landmark inns, and gives its name to this part of town. The tip of a spire can be seen just off centre. It belongs to St Andrew's church, which dates from 1867 and cost £5,000. St Andrews School, opened in 1866, is directly behind the Duke of York. On the right is Eastwood's musical instruments shop — it appears to be on Briercliffe Road, but it is actually at 119 Colne Road. The sunblinds protected the various instruments from sunlight.
