Market Place, Bury, 1970
This photo from the archives offers us a glimpse of Bury town centre as it was more than 50 years ago.
It shows the area around Market Place in 1970. The town’s parish church - the Church of St Mary the Virgin - dominates the photo but on the left was a branch of Lloyds Bank and the National Westminster Bank, as it was then, had a branch on the right behind the traffic light.
The photographer was stood on the corner of Silver Street.
What do you remember being in the area back then? If you have any photos of Bury from the Seventies, we'd love to share them with Looking Back readers. Email john.anson@nqnw.co.uk
