Blackburn - Highlights
Blackburn is a city located in the county of Lancashire, England. It holds well over 100,000 residents, and lies to the north of the West Pinnine Moors, on the southern most side of Ribble Valley, making it not only a great city to visit, but it holds much in the way of being a nature-lover’s paradise. Originally a mill town, Blackburn was a major wool and yarn producer and one of the largest producers of textiles during the Industrial Revolution. Now, it is mostly a retail-based town, which boasts a good-sized mall, the Mall Blackburn.

Beautiful buildings are scattered throughout Blackburn, including the gorgeous Blackburn Cathedral, which was consecrated in the year 1826, although it is highly believed there was a much older church on the spot for many years prior. The Romanesque-Gothic construction is certainly awesome, when you look at this church, from both inside and out of it. Nearby the cathedral is the statue of Queen Victoria, which was unveiled by her daughter, Princess Louise, Duchess of Argyll, in the year 1905.
