Re: Where is Hyndburn going?

It is Accrington which has the heritage.....not Hyndburn.
Hyndburn is an invention.......and as you so rightly observe Hyndburner, that is when things started to go badly awry.
A conglomeration of small towns that didn't identify with this name but were lumped together for convenience.
If you mention Accrington, there is a fair chance that people know what area you are referring to, but mention Hyndburn and all you get is a blank expression

Hyndburner, I agree with everything in your last post.....well said!
