About Black Lane

Black Lane, a quiet corner of Bury's suburban expanse, carries the faint scent of damp earth after a spring shower. It lies 1.3 km north-north-west of Radcliffe (from Radcliffe: bearing 331°T, OS grid SD 777 083). The houses here, largely red-brick constructions from the mid-20th century, often have small, neat gardens where the late afternoon sun, when it deigns to appear, can catch the dew on the rose bushes. A narrow, winding stream, barely more than a trickle in drier months, threads its way through the periphery of Black Lane, its banks softened by moss and the occasional wild garlic. There is a palpable sense of quietude here, a gentle hum of domesticity that seems to settle with the dusk, a feeling amplified by the distant, muffled sounds of traffic on the main road, a reminder of the wider world held at a respectful distance. The air, often carrying the dampness of the Lancashire sky, can sometimes hold a faint, sweet note from the blooming hawthorn hedging the lanes.
