I was doing some research recently and found two articles that mentioned a Roman Lamp being found in Baxenden. Take a look at this one on the
Lancashire County Site (pg7), and this one on the
Hyndburn Council Site (pg6). Roman artifacts found "near Oak Hill Park" are also referred to, but it's all very vague. I wasn't aware of any Roman artifacts being found in Accrington.
Pudwoppa - Can I just say thanks a million for posting this Lancashire County site link. I didnt even know it existed. A heck of a lot of reading to do, but ..... fascinating to know the site exists. Thank you so much!
