As I've already said in another thread the Redcap is NOT in Blackburn, i'ts in Hyndburn. Many years ago I worked for a firm who used to supply goods to the Redcap, when we sent out invoices they were always mailed to The Old Mother Redcap, Rishton. I asked where this was, as the only Redcap I knew was on the road from Accrington to Blackburn. That's the one, I was told, it's actually in Rishton. Apparently there is a stream which runs parallel with the main road and disappears underground as it passes through the Redcap carpark, this stream is the boundary between Rishton and Oswaldtwistle, both of which are in Hyndburn, NOT Blackburn. So wherever the Redcap is, it sure isn't Blackburn.
