Now about this mysterious road from Baxenden. It doesn't actually lead directly to Willows Lane as you will see.

The route goes up Rising Bridge Rd into Roundhill Lane, up to the T junction, turn right into Roundhill Road/Haslingden Old Road. Continue along until the junction with Broadfield, turn right into Broadfield until you reach the Shoulder of Mutton, turn right into Cross Edge and continue along until it becomes Willows Lane.

Now me, I would have come down Manchester Rd to Royds Avenue, down Royds Ave and into Royds Street, left on Hudson Street to Belfield Road, right down Belfield Road, left onto Mount Street, right into Victoria Street, left into Ormerod Street, right up to the top to the T junction with Willows Lane.

I'll grant you it's not as scenic as Busman's route but I think it's shorter.
