A much-missed Blackburn landmark could be making a surprise return – not as a bridge or walkway, but as a brand new “heritage attraction” in the heart of Cathedral Square.
The Hare & Hounds in Lammack—long a friendly off-route stop from Blackburn’s old Revidge Run—will call last orders for the final time on Sunday 5 October, closing due to the retirement of owner Ian Robertson MBE. As the last pub linked to the Revidge Run, its goodbye marks the end of a familiar chapter in the town’s pub history.
Richmond Terrace is one of Blackburn’s most impressive streets — a Grade II listed Georgian terrace that once stood as a proud symbol of the town’s professional class. Just steps from the Town Hall, it was home to solicitors, accountants and other leading figures in the nineteenth century. Today, the same terrace tells a very different story.
A new piece of Blackburn’s cinematic past has come to light during the ongoing £1.5 million renovation project at The Exchange.
