The Lord Nelson on Salford, Blackburn
Once one of the most familiar sights in Blackburn - the curved frontage of the Lord Nelson pub complete with giant OBJ sign on the front.
OBJ advertised a Dutton's ale, Old Ben. brewed literally across the road and stood for Oh Be Joyful.
This was Salford looking up Penny Street offering a glimpse of the distinctive dome above the entrance of the Odeon cinema. All this has now gone as various town centre redevelopments have dramatically changed the area.
