Blackburn Central

Blackburn Central ward encompasses the historic core of the town, focused around the Cathedral and the Town Hall. The area is defined by a mix of civic buildings, retail units, and residential streets radiating from the main thoroughfares. A central feature is the Church Street conservation area, containing many Victorian structures that outline the town's industrial past. The ward functions as the primary administrative and commercial hub for the wider borough.

The landscape includes the Leeds and Liverpool Canal, which runs through the southern part of the ward. This area provides a linear green corridor contrasting with the urban centre. Residential housing consists largely of Victorian and Edwardian terraced homes, alongside some modern developments. The ward contains the central markets and the main library, serving as key community facilities for daily life.
