St_Jimmy_77 Posted September 5, 2011 Posted September 5, 2011 I have the Peter White book - 1875 to 1988. Lots of old pictures in there. Most of which from before I was born lol!
67splitscreen Posted September 5, 2011 Posted September 5, 2011 (edited) The picture must have been messed with, claret on a Rovers shirt. wash your mouth out. Edit. it was quite close, time is not good for the old grey matter. Garner at his best Although the cuffs are different on Garner with the ones in the picture with Parks.

cn174 Posted September 5, 2011 Posted September 5, 2011 I don't know the guy but I'd like to give a little plug for Stuart at Homes of Football. I've bought a couple of prints from him and his service is top notch - he even threw in some free postcards. I think you can go and visit his studio up in the lakes, will get round to it one day.
trs Posted September 6, 2011 Posted September 6, 2011 Love the Blackburn End photos....(inside and out) Where is the ROVERS F.C. sign/stonework these days?

Now the Homes of football is in Manchester.
Ozz Posted September 7, 2011 Posted September 7, 2011 Here are a couple of mine from about 1986 that I recently found in the loft. Blackburn End corner with Nuttal Street paddock. Iconic shot of Blackburn End turnstiles, £2.50 to get in!
