Accrington / Hyndburn Areas help..

Roy · 01-09-2003, 16:16

Hi people, I'm after a little help. I'm trying to compile a list of all the areas in Accrington/Hyndburn (for an optional profile field) I can't remember all the areas and I'm sure there may be some I haven't even heard of.

example -

Accrington, Spring Hill
Accrington, Huncoat

Oswaldtwistle, West End

etc. etc..

Please help!

Accrington: Springhill, Barnfield, Woodnook, Baxenden, Fern Gore, Scaitcliffe, Milnshaw
Green Howarth
Ossie: West End, Stanhill
Church: Dill Hall, Church Kirk
Rishton: Eachill
Gt Harwood: Overton
Altham
Rising Bridge
Clayton-le-Moors: Oakenshaw, Field Bottoms

Probably more that I've missed, especially Harwood & Rishton, but it's a start. Suggest you try council website. They have a list of Council wards, but maybe that's too specific

cheers cazzer, a good start as you say!!  I don't want to check the council site as I wanted it to come from our users then we don't make any mistakes (hehe)!

So far then, in the drop down box we can have:

Accrington

Centre (or center?)
Springhill
Barnfield
Woodnook
Baxenden
Fern Gore
Scaitcliffe
Milnshore

Oswaldtwistle

West End
Stanhill

Church

Dill Hall
Church Kirk

Rishton

Eachill

Great Harwood

Overton

Clayton Le Moors

Oakenshaw
Field Bottoms

Rising Bridge
Altham
Are these 2 classed as Accrington or are they towns themselves?

It's actually quite interesting this anyway!

Any more input quite welcome...

We've had a spelling correction - MILNSHAW, not Milnshore. And Hyndburn has been confirmed as:
Accrington, Altham, Church, Clayton Le Moors, Gt Harwood, Oswaldtwistle and Rishton  (7 in total)

Great Harwood has the following areas according to my work map.
Harwood Bar
Lowergate
Cliffe
Edge End

Oswaldtwistle  Foxhill

Just found this thread in the depths of the forum and noticed "Center" - that should be "Central", and then there's also Oakleigh.

Royal mail postal codes, google it and it will give all the areas and the postal codes, had to do it for our website!

Don't forget Belthorn - half of it is in Hyndburn

PS - when you ring 999 from there they ask which side of the road needs help

WillowTheWhisp · 31-12-2007, 15:39

Have we got Rising Bridge or is that officially Rossendale?

Rising Bridge
Altham

Altham and Altham west are both Accrington, I thought rising bridge was Rossendale.
