A solitary spire - can you name the church to which it belonged? 103 SD 689 277. © Philip Kapp. Kevin Gibson has kindly been in touch to inform me that the spire stands on St. Peter Street, so is very likely to be St. Peter. But can anyone confirm this?
Previously in the "Unknown" section, this old postcard shows Blackamoor Church. Janet Gimber has located a Blackamoor being part of Blackburn. Such limited information we've been able to find suggests that this is St. James at Lower Darwen, which was demolished in 1969. Definitive confirmation would be welcome!!
