More about this scene
The main A59 road from Liverpool to Preston runs through the centre of the village, and at the far end, rises over the Leeds and Liverpool Canal. The waterway arrived in 1755, encouraging rapid expansion and the establishment of new industries. A second boost came 100 years later when the railway was built. Its bridge lies just behind the photographer.

The YMCA had a British Boys for British Farms (BBBF) Training Centre in Burscough at Williamson House from 1941 - 47. I would like to know where it was and to find people who were in or had connections with BBBF. My email address is: stephenmilner222@btinternet.com.
Hi, I worked on a farming scheme in1953 when I was 15, we lived in a wooden built hostel just down from the railway station as you came out and turned right, you turned right again and it was set back from the road. I would love to find out where it was, and possibly the farm too, I've looked on maps, but no luck. Can you help? Thanks, Tom Middle.
This picture shows the house I live in! My father renovated this house with loving care and now I am lucky enough to reside here.
