ALL ABOUT THE PROJECT

“Moments in Blackburn” is an exciting project dedicated to preserving and celebrating the vibrant memories and stories that define the town. Through a digital platform, residents share their personal photos, videos, and memories.

Through a digital platform, residents are invited to share their personal photos, videos, and memories, contributing to a captivating tapestry of Blackburn’s history. This living Time Capsule captures the essence of everyday life, landmarks, music, and the nostalgia of the 1980s, reflecting the unique character and spirit of the community. Join us in this fun-filled journey as we weave together a colourful mosaic of Blackburn’s most cherished moments for generations to enjoy.

The online portal will be available, with our first contributions displayed from Friday 8th September 2023.

Next year, the aim is to create a physical experience which people can visit.

If you would like to join “Moments in Blackburn” by submitting your own photos or images, then visit the link below.

We will also be offering a service to digitally scan collections of Blackburn photos. If you are interested in that service, please also visit the link.
