A fun history fact that is as Andy Burnham was born in 1970 before the 1974 county reforms, he was born in Lancashire.

The only other Lancashire PM was Sir Robert Peel born 1788.
The last time we had a PM that had a northern accent was Harold Wilson born 1916.

Does anyone remember that documentary that aired on BBC one in September 2012 that followed residents of the Shadsworth estate in Blackburn that was on panorama?

It's funny really because it is going to be 14 years anniversary in September 2026 since it aired on TV.

I am interested to know especially from people who come from Blackburn if that documentary made Shadsworth look good or bad by the BBC or was it honest about the issues facing Shadsworth estate?

Hi im wanting a service on my mercedes but dont want to pay dealership prices. I need a minor service this time and preferably want a garage that deals with german cars. Thanks

I'm around Burnley/Blackburn/Clitheroe areas and basically just looking for a place where I might be able to join for some fairly casual football.

My standard is pretty low I'm mainly just trying to find a way to meet some new people, and have a decent run around.

I'm not on Facebook or anything so that resource isn't easily available to me.

Im looking for recommendations to book my works Christmas lunch, we work in Preston but all drive so we don’t necessarily need it to be in the city.

Any type of cuisine is fine to recommend. It just needs to be open during lunchtime on a weekday

Where are people’s favourite places?

Hello Lancastrians!

I am a Yorkshireman so I hope you don’t mind too much me posting in here, for the record, not at all trying to self promote, rather just to share this to see what you all think.

Opinions thoughts etc are welcome even if you’re not a Burnley supporter…

The Spirit Of The Clarets 🏆🟣🔵

Latest illustration celebrates some of the defining symbols of football in Burnley: Turf Moor, their home since 1883; Harry Potts, who guided the club to the Football League First Division title in 1959–60; and the traditions and memories that have shaped generations of Clarets supporters.

I wanted to bring those elements together in one piece that reflects the club’s unique history and identity.

Hi! I am starting the Medicine with a Foundation Year programme at the Westlakes campus.

I would love to connect with anyone else who is also starting this course.

I am also really keen to get to know students currently studying at Westlakes, regardless of your degree or year. I would love to hear about your experiences, what campus life is like, and any tips you have for a fresher.

Drop a comment or send me a message if you want to chat or connect! Looking forward to meeting you all.

Any ladies walking groups in the surrounding areas - clitheroe , Pendle or burnley? After 17 years of marriage where I became isolated from friends, I would like to take my next steps to meeting new people and finding myself again.

Hello,

I don't know if anyone will be able to answer this.

I have recently spoke to a couple of people who have told me there is a network of tunnels which run between Nelson and Colne underground.

They mentioned an entrance near the railway tracks near Primet High School / The boundary and the fields behind Fishermore high school.

They also mentioned a tunnel in Marsden Park.

Interested to know more about this if anyone knows.

Thanks

Hello

I've recently moved back to Lancashire and have been trying to find a pickleball club to join but I haven't had much luck.

Does anyone know of any?

I'm based around Preston but happy to travel.

Thanks in advance.

As the title, I’ve recently picked up playing indoor 5 a side football and am looking to buy a pair of indoor court boots to play in. I haven’t bought a pair of football boots in almost a decade so would like to try on a number of styles and sizes (hoping for a little more than the local sports direct).

Are there any good places to try around Lancashire to try? I’m based in Lancaster but happy to make a day trip further afield if it’s worth it.

Thanks in advance!
