St Anne's, Tottington, 1973
No, it’s not a graffiti artist at work; this photo taken in April 1973 shows St Anne’s Church in Tottington getting a major spring clean.
Both the church itself and the walls surrounding it were sandblasted with decades of grime being removed leaving the stones looking like new.
