Postal addresses have never been aligned with the "new" post-1974 local government boundaries. For example, Hyndburn is not a postal address, purely the name of a local government area. Altham, Church, Clayton-le-Moors & mainstream Oswaldtwistle all have postal address ACCRINGTON - these are BB5 postcodes. Great Harwood, Rishton and some outlying parts of Oswaldtwistle, e.g. Belthorn and Knuzden, have postal address BLACKBURN. These are not BB5 postcodes - Great Harwood is BB6 and I think Rishton, Belthorn & Knuzden are BB1.
