Thank you to everyone who contributed to #BackingBlackburnPhotography

Published Friday 17 December 2021 at 17:38

Almost 600 images were shared with us using the #BackingBlackburnPhotography, showing huge support across the borough for Blackburn’s City Bid!

As part of our recent application to the Queen for city status on behalf of Blackburn, we were asked to submit 50 photographs of the area.

We called out to our amazing residents for these images, asking them to get involved and share their vision of Blackburn with us to help form the application.

The response and talent demonstrated has completely blown us away. You truly showed the beauty of Blackburn.

Thank you so much to everyone who took the time to take and share their photos with us – we wish we could have used them all!

Have a look below at the photographs we selected for the submission…
