I dont like the name Hyndburn.
I dont like the idea of Accrington & Districts either -

Just words Margaret, however, if pronounced in the correct standard English fashion Hyndburn is extremely pleasant to the ear :
Hynd. gentle aspiration, then a diphthong vowel (which Lancashire people neglect) H-i-e-, followed by nasal n.. gentle . d tip of tongue on forefront of palate, and finally neutral vowel ... bun ... lovely.
Acc .. sure to get the glottal stop here on A should be pronounced as an 'e'.. hard cc on back of throat, roll of tongue on the 'r' ..ing .. nasal vowel, do not pronounce the 'g', neutral vowel on the ton .. tun. Much harder to pronounce and hard consenants.
No contest for sound to me ...
