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. ![](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/images/news/A66B6DFB-59DE-4540-8835-9EBE852F819D.jpeg) [Year 1](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/year-1) [History](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/history) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/IMG_8920.jpeg)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-07-09-edstart-jag-tag-tournament) Previous ### [Edstart Jag Tag Tournament ](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-07-09-edstart-jag-tag-tournament) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/IMG_6610.jpeg)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-07-11-barney-s-got-talent) Next ### [Barney’s Got Talent ](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-07-11-barney-s-got-talent) ### Personal Development - [News](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news) - [Events](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/events) - [Photo Gallery](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/photo-gallery-category/our-gallery) - [Calendar](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/calendar) - [School Council](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/school-council) - [Attendance](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/attendance) - [Fundraising](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/fundraising) - [Extra Curricular Clubs](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/clubs) - [Little Leaders](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/little-leaders) - [Visits and Visitors](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/visits-and-visitors) - [British Values](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/british-values) - [Protected Characteristics](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/protected-characteristics) ##### Location Knowlesly Road Darwen Lancashire BB3 2JA ##### Contact Us 01254 702996 ##### Stay Connected - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/stbarnabasce/) - [X](https://twitter.com/stbarnabasce) © Copyright 2021–2026 St Barnabas Primary School, A Church of England Academy School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
