oh and ignore the very strange guy stood in the corner of the pics, thats just Richard

I can see from Flashy's pics that it would appear that Wynsors is in Oswaldtwistle.

The Mother Redcap which is just further along the road on the opposite side is classed as being in Rishton.

How does that work then?

Ps Sorry for thread wander.

old mother redcap in Rishton? how does that work then? and where the hell do i live? unless it dates back to before the motorway was there, then yes it is understandably Rishton, if you stand at the redcap and look across all the fields then you can see Rishton, thats probably what it is, maybe the bounderies where different before the m65 was done

I think you may find tht Blackburn Road is the boundry flashy, haven't seen a map which shows the boundry lines for a while, but it does stand to reason

ah but where does Blackburn Road end and Accrington Road begin? there are no road signs for Accy road anywhere near the redcap, the last one i know is at the end of Peronne crescent (just past intack traffic lights on your left heading towards accy)showing that on the hill bit its actually accy road, and i dont recall seeing a sign for Blackburn road until you get past church traffic lights....so hmmmm another interesting one for ya Jay

I used to have a Borough Plan from my political days, I have a look over the weekend and see if i've still got it flashy, but I seem to think it may have been shredded while back

flashy · 23-05-2008, 16:56

awww thats a shame

i literally live meters away from Ossy (well the Ossy sign)

I love going to Wynsors World Shoes.

The last time I bought shoes from there was almost a year ago, and they're still going strong.

I am quite lucky depends on the way you look at it, I have size 5 feet and can get away with buying kids shoes and paying kids prices.

By then end of its garage life it was Daihatsu (sp?)

Shurmers street guide, and plans show Windsor as being in the borough of Hyndburn. The boundry of Blegburn being 1/2 way between Windsor, and Intack traffic lights.

I read somewhere that Shurmer put some deliberate mistakes in his maps so that he would know when they had been used without his consent.
