Burnley Civic Trust Heritage Image Collection

[Guitargeorge]

I have mentioned once or twice before the work we do at Burnley Civic Trust where are are currently digitising images of old Burnley, including many photographs of BFC. In 2016, we were gifted the archive of negatives from the Burnley Express, who found that they had no room for them following their move from Bull St. In excess of 300,000 negatives were transferred to our workshop and volunteers have currently placed 11,000+ pictures and stories on our website. Our Heritage Lottery funding has now come to an end, and in order to continue to fund our premises, website and other costs, we need to raise more money. Consequently, we have created a JustGiving page (search Burnley Civic Trust). Any help you can give us would really be appreciated.
You can see images of old Burnley, including many unseen football related photographs at BCTHIC.org. Many thanks for reading this.

I have spent many a happy hour trawling through the wealth of superb historical images on the Burnley Civic Trust Heritage Image Collection and it is a fabulous resource.
Word of caution though - allow yourself plenty of time as once you get started, you cannot help thinking "just one more page" as the hours pass by!
Good luck with the fundraising, I'll stick a couple of quid in later.

P.S. I wonder what time of year that photo was taken as half the players look like they're frozen.
