Blackburn & Darwen

Blackburn is a former cotton weaving town in east Lancashire, with a cathedral at its centre and Blackburn Rovers playing at Ewood Park. Darwen lies just to the south, watched over by the Jubilee Tower on Darwen Moor and by the tall chimney of India Mill. The village of Mellor completes the area. Positive news from the people, schools, clubs and businesses of both towns is shared here.
