Oh Dear Ken...I don't think the Greens would be too impressed with the idea that Rshton is the spiritual home of their movement. Just the opposite - Rishton was the birthplace of Ernie Marsden, who along with his mates Rutherford & Geiger did some of the first investigations into atomic structure, which in turn begat the bomb, nuclear power, etc...not exactly in the Green bible.
