Corners???...Where was Corners?

The shop at the top of Little Blackburn Road was called The Disc & Tape Exchange. Reidys was on Penny Street in Blackburn.

the landlady comes up and turns it off, i had what was a night out to me in cash plus tokens i cashed in at the astronaut.. sad to see the place go really

does anyone remember the small record shop that sold singles for 5p? it was near the black horse on abbey street, sometimes it would have singles that were still in the charts.. used to by them and take em to mary's music and say we needed a refund or replacement for some other single cos my sis bought me 2 by mistake,(singles were about 30p at the time, and I can't think they had till reciepts in them old days.)

worked a few times but then mary herself took a look and sussed it had been played to many times.. ha ha worth a go!

Ignore this post. It had a typo!

The building which once was The Antley is no more. All part of the Project Phoenix demolition job.

The Old House at Home was demolished when Eastgate was created as a sort of inner by-pass.

The Kings is still there. If I can remember to take my camera out with me I might take some photos of things gone and things which still remain.

was corners not the name of the place that relaced the old house at home?

Never knew that, Mr. C. Last time I went in was the late 70's. A bit of a Burnley fans' stronghold, if I remember rightly.

Oh right, sorry, Mr. C. Maybe somebody will enlighten us?

It was somewhere up along Eastgate (i think ) possibly across from where Home and Bargains new store is, somewhere around that area, again i am vague about it, it would have been in the late 1980`s, so possible Old House at Home, i don`t recall that one..

Uncle Mick · 13-06-2006, 16:10

Corners was knocked down to build Eastgate. I think it was the street with Extreme womans clothes shop at the top. A bit dingy as I remember from my one and only visit

Wynonie Harris · 13-06-2006, 19:07

Dingy...that definitely sounds like the Old House At Home!

WillowTheWhisp · 13-06-2006, 21:36

To help jog a few memories here are some photos I took tonight.

This used to be the Antley. It was Islamia Girls School and now it's due for demolition.

Here's the Kings Arms still there on Lee Street although the end of the row has gone.

And this is where the Old House at Home used to be when Melbourne Street was a simple street and not the dual carriageway now known as Eastgate.
