Nelson / Colne Tunnels

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

Hi,
we’re four guys, and we’ve put together Westminster’s restaurant scene in an app called Vota. The concept is simple: you see two places side by side (for example Famille vs. Kachina Southwestern Grill), you choose the place you’d rather go to, and the ranking updates instantly. The more people vote, the more accurate the list gets over time. There are still a few duplicates here and there, but I’m continuously cleaning up the data.

Here’s the iPhone version, with categories that actually fit Westminster’s food scene:

And here’s the Android version (finally live):

P.S. I’m not from Westminster (I live in Gothenburg). I’m not collecting data, not selling anything, and the app does not use AI-generated content. I’m posting in a few different subreddits because we now support more regions, and I genuinely want honest feedback from people who actually know the area.

Rosegrove Station, Lancashire, UK

A station was constructed at Rosegrove by the East Lancashire Railway Company in 1848. Over the next 100 years the station grew and sidings were added due to its strategic location, close to Gannow junction.

At its height the goods yard had a capacity for over 1,000 goods wagons. An engine shed was also built, which housed up to 50 steam locomotives until its demolition in 1968.

This marked the start of the decline of the station and its goods yards.

By the time the M65 was completed in the 1980's, the station infrastructure, apart from one long platform had been demolished.

Thanks in advance.

Burnley chat - Small minded mindset

Anyone heard about Burnley chat on Facebook which is a forum page?

I joined it 2 weeks ago and one thing I have noticed is certain people seem to have a issue when I have been asking questions like being rude for no reason.

Does Burnley have a issue with having a small minded mindset compared to other places in Britain?
