More about this scene
The square is named after Henry Sudell, one of the town's leading 18th-century citizens. The tracks across the setts formed part of Blackburn's tramway, which opened in April 1881. Originally steam-powered, it ran all the way to nearby Darwen, and in 1899 the first section was electrified and electrification subsequently extended to Hoddlesden. Competition from buses finally brought the tramway's closure in 1949.
