Blackburn Fire Engine.


20th July 2008. Fleetwood Tram Sunday, in front of the North Euston Hotel, we spotted this old Blackburn Borough Fire Tender. We went for a quiet trip to the sea only to discover that the town was rammed with folk due to the event. Lots of classic vehicles, especially buses. The main street was closed off and packed with stalls and a fun fair. Helen picked up a couple of rare Ty Beanies from a 'all Beanies a quid' stall. Good day was had and we even saw the Lifeboat launched (with resultant rescue at sea) and an escape from arrest (with humorous Benny Hill style chase).
PS. Not sure who the fat little girl is on the left....I'm sure she wasn't there when I pressed the button. A bit scary, really.
