We lived on Padiham road from 1998 to 2004. Had to move in a hurry when a violent drug dealer moved in next door and life suddenly became rather unpleasant. We live in the Ribble Valley now, don'tcha know old chap!

How did the estate agent describe the property that you sold - 'Desirable 3 bedroom terraced house with panoramic views of local wildlife'!

This is spooky even witchlike globalti - i came across this thread by chance earlier today, was busy but thought i'd post on it later at the risk of being mocked for posting on a dead old thread, and then return to find that it has risen again.

On downham, it may be known these days for "born and bread" (though there are few downham exterior shots) but to many locals it is still best known for that rather good film Whistle Down the Wind - clips onyoutube plus some contemporary location film of director bryan forbes looking rather hipster. Plus a young dickie attenborough. Don't know if you are religious (i'm not) but next time you are in downham walk into the church, then turn right round to walk straight out again. The view from the church door porch or whatever is truly wonderful, one of the best views from any church anywhere i am sure.

A friend of mine who often sits on the bench next to the Swan Hotel Whalley told me that Whalley has more cocaine addicts than the national average.
