That's a self defeating question because as you very well know it isn't called the River Stink. It's called the River Hyndburn. The name wasn't just invented when the borough was created. The name was taken from the river which runs through it (sounds like something somebody could make a film about, that does) so you can hardly pick on the name itself and say it is inappropriately out of context for the name of a stinky northern town can you?
