Another thread wander....am I right in thinking that about 50 years ago this week/next week there was a seaside special train running from Burnley/Accy/Blackburn that crashed and came off the rails somewhere outside Blackpool with lots dead and injured?

I wonder why there was never a film made of 'Mist over Pendle'? That really would have shown off some of the best parts of the area. I read it as a boy and it inspired me to spend many hours biking around the Pendle area,finding the places mentioned. Never did find Malkin Tower! Shame, I might have been spellbound.

Talking of Pendle on film, this is on next Wednesday, and looks interesting.

Still damned if i can remember the title of this film but it was about the Trial of the Device family and my school friend Sarah Fowler played the young sister... Thanks for pointing out the BBC doc. of The Pendle Witch Child, Garinda -i wonder if it can be seen over the internet on Streaming or something -i've never tried anything like that though...
