I work fairly nearby, one of my colleagues was talking to someone at lunchtime who said Blackburn Road may be closed for a few weeks.

Re: Big Fire Blackburn Road
 

That wouldn't shock me in the least.

Re: Big Fire Blackburn Road

Re: Big Fire Blackburn Road
 

I suspect that the whole row will be declared unsafe and will be demolished.

Re: Big Fire Blackburn Road
 

MORE claims then

Re: Big Fire Blackburn Road
 

To be honest I only know of the area back in the 70's but if there is so much destruction then surely the best option is to reconstruct the area.. should Accrington go down the Governments road of stagnation or demand funding for the future?..I reckon the latter is needed..there are those who say local and central concerns are seperate.. but when an area needs a cash injection it can only come from the government.. wake up!

You can go down BLackburn road on the bus but it has to be the small red ones they go as far as dale st round the back down willows lane and back onto Blackburn road and into town

Read the Telegraph article again, its supposed to be ramadan, fire call came in just before 7pm, sunset on that day didn't occur until after 8-30 pm.

It is Ramadan there's no supposing about it. Food can be prepared before sunset. You have to bear in mind not all of the community are devout Muslims in the same way I'm not a devout Christian

Re: Big Fire Blackburn Road
 

That's a poor comparison Claytone40, the vast majority of Muslims are devout, but not so in Christianity

Re: Big Fire Blackburn Road
 

and if they are selling the food, then it is part of their work and so they can prepare and cook food for someone else.
