Bank Hey Lancashire Map

About Bank Hey

Bank Hey offers a quiet presence in Lancashire's embrace. It lies 2.3 km north-north-east of Blackburn (from Blackburn: bearing 26°T, OS grid SD 693 303). The land here gently slopes, a subtle encouragement to the eye as it travels towards the distant, hazy outlines of the Pennines, and the air often carries the faint scent of damp earth and distant woodsmoke. Though not a place of grand pronouncements, Bank Hey’s modest dwellings, often constructed from the local warm-toned brick, seem to absorb the soft, diffused light of the North West, lending them an enduring, understated beauty. A small stream, a silver thread in the green landscape, winds its way through the vicinity, its murmur a constant, low song beneath the hum of everyday life. The fields surrounding Bank Hey, often given over to pasture, possess a rich, dark soil that speaks of generations of patient cultivation.
