Well, went to a few of the old venues to take some pictures, Albion Mill - Demolished, Monroe's - Demolished (today), Manhattan Heights (Millenium Club) - Demolished. The only one that I found still was Balmoral Mill (Ewood) & the bloke that works there remembers the rave (Acid House Party as he corrected me ) & he was not a happy chappy lol
Looks like I will be looking for some others to photograph. Does any one know which building the raves were held at on Pump St, Blackburn?

Get in touch with Tommy Smith aka Dumbarton Tommy who lived up Whitehead Street in Blackburn, he literally was the organiser of every rave around in Blackburn. The corner of Whitehead Street hitting into Devenport Rd had a wall that had "SAVE THE RAVE" written across it in white graffiti, you will see this on Blackburn Rave videos all over YouTube, some of the sites are still standing, Pump Street site is now a Car repair/Garage site (one in the middle).
