Walpamur, Darwen, 1958
A fleet of lorries belonging to British Road Services lines up in the loading bay at the Walpamur paint factory in Darwen in 1958.
Paint manufactured here would be transported all over the world putting this relatively small East Lancashire town at the centre of the global market when it came to paint and wall coverings.
