The junction may have remained but the surrounding area has changed considerably since this aerial view over Astley Bridge was taken in 1955.
The main Blackburn Road runs from top to bottom and heading off it to the left is the road to Belmont. Even in this small area there are three large mills clearly visible.
What else do your recognise on the photograph?
