Accy - 35,203 - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accrington

Hyndburn - 82,200 - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyndburn

Re: population
 

82000 and something as quoted for Hyndburn

Fro more accuate details contact the council and ask for the person who deals with the Census details. I have never dealt with the one for Hyndburn but in generally they are very helpful and grateful for someone to talk to

Re: population
 

I never thought of looking on wikipedia. We aren't allowed to use it as a source at uni, so I never bother with it.

As for Bentley Shakermaker, do you honestly think I ever paid attention?

Re: population
 

I think you should play Accywebs Nancy :p

Re: population
 

That's why I was never great at geography. I was copying off you! :rolleyes: :D

Fred Bentley is a legend.:mosher:

Re: population
 

Never heard of him - googled - soil scientist? - how legendary is that ! :confused:

Re: population
 

Margaret he is/was a teacher at Holy Family/ Mount Carmel;)

Re: population
 

Contrary to popular belief, Google is the creation of mortals and thus does not hold all the answers.

Fred Bentley was our somewhat legendary Geography teacher at Mount Carmel. Taught P.E. back in the day and then moved on to Geography when he himself became fossilised.
