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.

yeah i know what your saying, there is a stream that runs near my house, 'the brook' as we call it, but it goes from Peronne Crescent (across from the ossy sign) right the way down to whitebirk road, it comes from the river Blakewater so my dad tells me
