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.
I agree.

I stated in the other thread that I was under the impression the Redcap was in Rishton.

Odd, isn't it?

Blackburn must start somewhere along that road though.....before you get to Intack. Intack's in Blackburn.
