I use Haslingden Old Road if going to Haslingden or Rawtenstall from home but I've never used the road down by the Farmer's Glory to Baxenden. I didn't know it joined up to Rising Bridge Road and I'd never even thought to wonder after being told that it was a dead end that just led down to farms. It does seem a lot shorter to me to go up Manchester Rd but I do agree that there always seems to be some kind of road works going on up there. I used to work with someone who lived near Bamford Crescent and he was always complaining about the times they dug the road up. He said "They might as well put a zip in it."
