Hyndburn as usual do not know their a*** from their elbow. There aren't two rivers, just the Tinker Brook. The name comes from King Oswald of Northumbria, and Ossy marked his boundary, which in Anglo-Saxon was "twisla". So "Oswald's Twisla" became the Ossy we all know (apart from Hyndburn) and love.
You can get a teatowel from Ossy Mills with the poem on it - also one with the Rules of the mill - glad I didn't have to work there.
