Burnley Streets

The rows of terraced houses in Burnley are disappearing as a result of the council's "Elevate" campaign. Whilst it may be beneficial to the town to provide more modern housing, another link with the tommies who fought in the Great War is being lost. I would be grateful of any scans of individual houses, streets or street scenes that people may have.
