Re: The age old question..
I suspect some would say it is pronounced with a K, i.e. Kone.

Re: The age old question..
My Burnleyish girlfriend says it like 'CoLne' ...but they all talk wrong over yonder.
It's 'Cone'. |

Re: The age old question..
Doesn't the name have something to do with rabbit breeding from the time when they were considered a rare delicacy, fit only for noble tables? Hence places like Colney Hatch and the Colney Hotel on Blackburn Road. If so, then the correct pronunciation would have to be, CONE.

Re: The age old question..
There are lots of words out there that never sound like they are spelt but I would say without the L.

Re: The age old question..
I roll the "l" when I say Colne its the same argument with Camelon (silent "e") as in one word or is it Came-lon Cam-e-lon. I would say its down to personal preference.
