Question List of towns in Hyndburn?

Hello all, I'm trying to put together a list of all towns and areas that are within the borough of Hyndburn so that I can improve a search facility on a website.

I was wondering if someone can either point me towards one or write down
a list of what they know.

So far I only have:

Hyndburn
Accrington
Great Harwood
Oswaldtwistle
Rishton
church


Your input would be appreciated.
Matty

Re: List of towns in Hyndburn?

So so far I have gleaned from that thread that the following areas are within the borough:
Code:
Hyndburn
Accrington
Springhill
Barnfield
Woodnook
Baxenden
Scaitcliffe
Milnshaw
Great Harwood
Overton
Clayton Le Moors
Oakenshaw
Field Bottoms
Oswaldtwistle
West End
Stanhill
Church
Rishton
Eachill
Altham
Belthorn
Lowergate
Edge End
Laneside
Peel Park
Is there any more than a BB5 postal code for Hyndburn?

Have any on the outskirts been missed off?

Green Haworth, Belthorn, Knuzden, some on your list aren't towns or villages, just electoral wards

That's a good point Jaysay. It's usually said that Hyndburn is made up of 8 townships plus the parish of Altham.

Accrington, Oswaldtwistle, Rishton, Great Harwood, Clayton, Huncoat, Baxenden, Church - all the other names listed are part of the ones here.

What about this lot just for starters.

Aspden, Bank Hey, Belmont, Black Law, Bowley, Broughton Barn, Rothwell, Miller Fold, Fern Gore, Green Haworth, Duckworth, Chequers, Cliffe, Cockerly, Belthorn, Bedlam, West End & Cowhill.

I've about 200 old names for areas that originally came within the parishes contained by Church Kirk, Altham, St James Acc and St Barthomews Gt Harwood. There is nothing within this part of Lancs, that has other than a BB5 post code.

Thank you for you replies.
I have added most of them to the Freecycle.org website so that when they & BB5 are put in the search they all bring up the Hyndburn group.

Thank s,
Matty
