In August 1978, BBC Radio Blackburn Published a magazine to be made available at outside broadcasts and from reception in Blackburn. The Rose logo and the old Bedford Radio Van made up the front cover. And from Inside the magazine - this was the team that looked after the breakfast show "First Edition" - (top) Chris Bates (Producer), Christine Whalley (Secretary), (bottom) Gerald Jackson (ME!) (Presenter) and Jude Bunker (presenter)
"The Longridge News"- published THIS photo' taken in the "ops" room, the week we went on air!

These photographs are taken from my personal collection of memorabilia, and any original copyright is fully respected. They are reproduced here after many years of living in the back
of a drawer - where some of those pictured might wish they'd stayed! (more to come)
