Bank Top, a quiet corner of Lancashire, offers a gentle unfolding of suburban life. It lies 1.4 km west-south-west of Blackburn (from Blackburn: bearing 237°T, OS grid SD 671 275). The land here possesses a subtle resilience, a character shaped by the slow heave of the Pennine foothills, where the sky often hangs in shades of bruised lavender and soft grey. Many of Bank Top's streets follow the contours of the land with a quiet insistence, lined by houses whose brickwork seems to absorb the diffused northern light. Evidence of its past, perhaps as a place supporting the industries that once pulsed through Lancashire, can be glimpsed in the sturdy, unpretentious architecture. The air, especially after a rain, carries the faint, clean scent of damp earth and distant fields, a constant reminder of the green hinterland that cradles Bank Top.
