Besides its main sources of the Warmden and Woodnook Water quite a number of small streams which are no longer visible joined those two both before and after it became the Hyndburn, there is a lot of run off under Water St, from the Coppice lodges. When the floods closed Water St, Avenue Parade and Melbourne St in the sixties, we could hear some of the culverts collapsing.
All the main polution came from Broad Oak Print Works and the Turkey Red at Baxenden, which was diverted round the factory's in Bath St and Victoria St by the big iron pipe kids play on up Priestly Clough.

Yes I realise that Ardenhall stream ran into it there were no trout there ever! Priestly Clough also was troutless and I never caught a fish in that poluted water. But there were plenty of trout in the Broad Oak stream and as I said I caught and ate many of them. There was also trout in the main stream that came off the moors above Oswaldtwistle that would have ended up in the Hynburn!
Eels I wonder if there are any Eels in there, there wern't any in the 70's! Also last time I was up North I noticed that the River Calder at Altham had anglers along it's banks! Back in the 70's I think the Calder was fishless! Due to industrial pollution from various sources!
