As part of their history learning, Year 1 took a trip into Darwen Town Centre to investigate the types of shops found on the high street today. They recorded their findings using a tally chart, which revealed that takeaways and cafés were the most common, followed closely by hairdressers and beauty salons, supermarkets, and bargain stores. The children also spotted several pharmacies and a number of vacant shops. Next, they will use this information to compare the modern high street with the types of shops that existed in Darwen during the 1950s.
