@@ianwimbles1440 so there are concentrations of Bibby in the North West particularly Lancs/ Yorks. However there are concentrations in the South too , Essex is one . According to some online articles it is thought the name Bibby originates from Viking name Bebbe.
Yes I think the Bibbys who migrated away from the cotton and coal industries had a few more brains no disrespect Stephen but they did the smart thing especially now that Burnley and most of the north west are the most deprived areas of the country tragedy considering it was at its peak the richest place on the planet!and a legacy of where the industrial revolution started and without towns like Burnley we would not be where we are now what with the technology of today,all thx to the revolution of industry started by your ancestors Stephen I think the south bibbys saw what was coming or travelled for work?i think if you did a family tree you’d probably have a few surprises?
The more I look back at these photos, the "modern" 1960's concrete buildings were a transitivity Trafalgar flats and the Thomson centre and lots of other buildings and car parks only lasted 30 years, and the ones that are left are falling to bits where the Victorian buildings are still standing 150 years later, really should have repurposed them rather than letting them be demolished. I visited Accrington a few years back not been since the 80's and its just sad seeing thriving Lancashire market towns have the guts torn out of the place and they become slums, as those who now live there have zero pride and are rewarded for plopping out generation after generations of people who don't even see work as an option.

Omg this brings memories back, remember every photo here, btw the stone entrance to the market hall I think were were moved to form the entrance to a club on r/h side just before you drop down to Clayton le moors traffic lights, & I wish I had a pound for every time I turned round on the Cats whiskers stage.
A once beautiful, stone built town centre and market demolished for that ugly concrete monstrosity of a centre. I bet the stone from the market, was sold off and sent abroad!

Thanks. I was born and brought up in Burnley, living there from 1957 to 1989. It was great to see your photos and brought back many memories.
Stephen your last name is pretty popular up here I know a few people called bibby!might have originated from around this area?

Grew up in the Flats in the 1980's was very happy times.
Burnley market should have never been demolished. Shocking decision by the town council.
That’s your typical council looking after the big shopping centre funders, happens everywhere.
A bit of sand blasting would have come up a treat.
Thoroughly enjoyed looking into my past. Burnley has certainly changed, shame about all the demolition.

My dad has said that for years!! First time ive ever seen it on here now.
This was right when I was growing up there and looking back at this it's shocking how run-down the place was.
4 dislikes from proper Blackburn folk.
Thoroughly enjoyed this but its spelt "centre" NOT "center"
Nice 👍🏼
Shame to see it now, full of pound shops and pawn shops.
What an act of self-destruction we embarked upon post war. Two world wars, and then one declared on ourselves right up to the present.
That's not Canal bridge but 'whistling bridge'. You can just make out the canal bridge further down.
And that was 80s coz I was working with RDL.

Burley was really run down in the 60s. The Market Hall looked nice though
