Accrington / Hyndburn Areas help..
Hi people, I'm after a little help. I'm trying to compile a list of all the areas in Accrington/Hyndburn (for an optional profile field) I can't remember all the areas and I'm sure there may be some I haven't even heard of.
example -
Accrington, Spring Hill
Accrington, Huncoat
Oswaldtwistle, West End
etc. etc..
Please help!

Re: Accrington / Hyndburn Areas help..
Accrington: Springhill, Barnfield, Woodnook, Baxenden, Fern Gore, Scaitcliffe, Milnshaw
Green Howarth
Ossie: West End, Stanhill
Church: Dill Hall, Church Kirk
Rishton: Eachill
Gt Harwood: Overton
Altham
Rising Bridge
Clayton-le-Moors: Oakenshaw, Field Bottoms
Probably more that I've missed, especially Harwood & Rishton, but it's a start. Suggest you try council website. They have a list of Council wards, but maybe that's too specific

Re: Accrington / Hyndburn Areas help..
cheers cazzer, a good start as you say!! I don't want to check the council site as I wanted it to come from our users then we don't make any mistakes (hehe)!
So far then, in the drop down box we can have:
Accrington - Centre (or center?)
- Springhill
- Barnfield
- Woodnook
- Baxenden
- Fern Gore
- Scaitcliffe
- Milnshore
Oswaldtwistle Church Rishton Great Harwood Clayton Le Moors
Rising Bridge
Altham
Are these 2 classed as Accrington or are they towns themselves?
It's actually quite interesting this anyway!
Any more input quite welcome...

Re: Accrington / Hyndburn Areas help..
We've had a spelling correction - MILNSHAW, not Milnshore. And Hyndburn has been confirmed as:
Accrington, Altham, Church, Clayton Le Moors, Gt Harwood, Oswaldtwistle and Rishton (7 in total)

Re: Accrington / Hyndburn Areas help..
Just found this thread in the depths of the forum and noticed "Center" - that should be "Central", and then there's also Oakleigh.

Re: Accrington / Hyndburn Areas help..
Don't forget Belthorn - half of it is in Hyndburn
PS - when you ring 999 from there they ask which side of the road needs help

Rising Bridge
Altham
Are these 2 classed as Accrington or are they towns themselves?
Altham and Altham west are both Accrington, I thought rising bridge was Rossendale.
