Whilst I'd rather not give credence to a racist rant, I would like to set the record straight. In 1974 the Borough of Hyndburn was created from the Distrcit Council of Accrington and six other Urban District Councils (all of which had their own crest, as we have seen by the display of the Accrington Crest on here). On creation of the new Borough the Hyndburn crest was officially bestowed upon it and approved by the Heraldry. This crest as been used since 1974 and is the official seel of the Council. It is legal and legitimate and is actually owned by the Council. It canot be used by others without the permission of the Council.The original certificate of 1974 bestowing the Crest on the Council can be viewed, by request, at the Councils Offices on Ormerod Street.
Family Crests are passed down the line of the eldest son and may only be used by those in this direct lineage. It is therefore more than likely that our originator is the one illegally using a Crest in this instance.
