The cathedral is almost next to the station.  It was Monday and Blackburn Museum was closed so we went round the shopping mall, called The Mall.  Quite a big place, looks like the mall took out most of Blackburn centre.  Nearby is a fine looking old building with the name Technical College next to King Georges Hall which is the musical venue.  There is also a modern bus station outside the Mall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our final stop was the Cathedral.  A building of two parts, one old and the other more modern.   It was a beautiful day and the sun was streaming through the coloured stain glass in the lantern above the altar.  The side windows are plain glass made with a grain giving an impressionists view of the outside.  The walls are hung with modern art depicting sacrifice.  Over the altar hangs a huge crown of thorns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"680\" height=\"383\" src=\"http:\/\/www.madeinpreston.co.uk\/b\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/BlackburnCathedral2.jpg\" alt=\"Blackburn Cathedral January 2019\" class=\"wp-image-1106\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.madeinpreston.co.uk\/b\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/BlackburnCathedral2.jpg 680w, https:\/\/www.madeinpreston.co.uk\/b\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/BlackburnCathedral2-600x338.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px\" \/><figcaption>Blackburn Cathedral<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"496\" height=\"881\" src=\"http:\/\/www.madeinpreston.co.uk\/b\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/BlackburnCathedral.jpg\" alt=\"Blackburn Cathedral January 2019\" class=\"wp-image-1107\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.madeinpreston.co.uk\/b\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/BlackburnCathedral.jpg 496w, https:\/\/www.madeinpreston.co.uk\/b\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/BlackburnCathedral-225x400.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 496px) 100vw, 496px\" \/><figcaption>The Altar and sunlight above at Blackburn Cathedral<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"680\" height=\"383\" src=\"http:\/\/www.madeinpreston.co.uk\/b\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/BlackburnCollege.jpg\" alt=\"Blackburn College January 2019\" class=\"wp-image-1108\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.madeinpreston.co.uk\/b\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/BlackburnCollege.jpg 680w, https:\/\/www.madeinpreston.co.uk\/b\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/BlackburnCollege-600x338.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px\" \/><figcaption>Blackburn College<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"680\" height=\"383\" src=\"http:\/\/www.madeinpreston.co.uk\/b\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/BlackburnKingGeorgesHall.jpg\" alt=\"Blackburn King Georges Hall\" class=\"wp-image-1109\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.madeinpreston.co.uk\/b\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/BlackburnKingGeorgesHall.jpg 680w, https:\/\/www.madeinpreston.co.uk\/b\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/BlackburnKingGeorgesHall-600x338.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px\" \/><figcaption>Blackburn King Georges Hall<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"680\" height=\"383\" src=\"http:\/\/www.madeinpreston.co.uk\/b\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/BlackburnBusStation.jpg\" alt=\"Blackburn Bus Station\" class=\"wp-image-1110\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.madeinpreston.co.uk\/b\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/BlackburnBusStation.jpg 680w, https:\/\/www.madeinpreston.co.uk\/b\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/BlackburnBusStation-600x338.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px\" \/><figcaption>Blackburn Bus Station<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A trip to Blackburn on the train.
