| Abstract: |
An archaeological assessment was undertaken on the centre of Blackburn due to a proposed scheme to improve its urban environment. The study area was based around Church and Darwen Streets, the commercial heart of old Blackburn, and included the original open market place. The intensity, scale and frequency of 19th and 20th century redevelopment indicated that few remains earlier than the 18th century were likely to have survived with the exception of the medieval parish church and 16th century vicarage. Some impact on historic fabric, whether buried or upstanding, was probable but it was unlikely to have been extensive or greatly damaging. [Au(abr)] |
