Re: Why 'o' Why
Hi Matthew,
I haven't lived in Baxenden for 51 years now. I was born at 438 Manchester Road in 1943, lived at 469 Manchester Road until I was eight, then at 452 Manchester Road until I was ten when we moved to live in Southport. I went to St. John's school from 1946 until 1953 and was in the choir at the church from 1951 to 1953. I was in Baxenden about three weeks ago on the 1st. July. My wife and I had lunch at the church snack bar (I had two Hollands meat pies and peas, really good) with a very old friend and her husband, Valerie and Jim Eland. Also got to spend some time with my oldest friend there who I hadn't seen for eight years, David Ratcliffe (known around the village as Ratty) I'm sure you'll have seen David knocking around, he's lived there all of his life. It was really nice to visit the village as I hadn't been back to England for six years. Cheers, JohnW |

Baxenden is in Hyndburn and Haslingden is in Rossendale, just to compilcate matters. You could always read what it says on the back of the Van. "Baxenden" |

Re: Why 'o' Why
I know the roadsign you mean Bagpuss. In my job, we have geographical boudaries which we are, by law, unable to cross. Some of my clients live in Rising Bridge, which is according to that sign, in Rossendale, but because they pay their council tax to hyndburn, Rising Bridge is considered to be Hyndburn for Health Authority purposes.
Hehehe, I reckon it's time that sign was moved up to the roundabout..

Re: Why 'o' Why
Just had a look on streetmap.co.uk and the boundary for Haslingden/Accrington is below Hollands Pies so surely that means the pies are made in Haslingden, Rossendale and not Baxenden, Hyndburn he he !!!

Re: Why 'o' Why
Maybe Hollands would rather just be associated with Baxenden than Haslingden eh?
