Wow, I was born in Darwen and lived there for much of my life. I have walked and mountain biked the moors for many of those years too, yet I still find out new and surprising facts about the whole area even now. We owe the Polish and the Free French pilots, soldiers etc who set up there exiled military fighting forces here on British soil a great deal of gratitude and respect for the massive part they played in the defeat of nazi far right extremists..... I have to check out this site.
