THIS picture shows the Bull's Head or Roundabout as it was often called in 1882, with the doorway to its vaults at the left of the cab parked off Salford.

The cab could have belonged to the pub's landlord, Thomas Prescott, who traded as a cab proprietor as well as the pub owner.

It stood at the junction of Penny Street and Salford in Blackburn.

But it was the next door beer house, named after England's sailor hero - with the entrance in Penny Street, from which the new Lord Nelson took its name.

Higher up the street, by the gas lamp, is the shop of printer and paper dealer Joseph Sefton.

There is an advertisement in the window for almanacs.

Next door to Sefton's, the shop with the sloping ground floor roof is that of furniture and hardware dealer John Jackson.

Beyond that was a grocers.
