Re: what is the real name for the river stink
I think it is actually called the River Hynd, Burn is another word for a small river - therefore Hyndburn was born as a region, meaning "Little River Hynd." Correct me if I'm wrong.

Re: what is the real name for the river stink
yep Jo. You're definatly wrong on this...."burn" is one of the old celtic words for river..............the Hyndburn has always been called the Hyndburn and the name was adopted in 1974 at the time of local government reorganisation because the idea was the river flowed all the local authorities (Church, Rishton, Clayton, Gt. Harwood, etc) being amalgamated with Accrington.....although I'm not to sure about Ozzy.....(maybe the Tinker being a tributary of the Hyndburn makes it count)...
