The remains of the Adelphi pub as you exit Burnley central train station. What the hell is going on?

Burnley’s a shithole I want to go home.

Every town has a building like that, it’s when they all look like that you have to worry.

We’ve had the million dollar Town to Turf fiasco to give visitors a good impression of the town and yet the first thing. you see if you get off the train at Burnley Central is this eyesore and it would probable take a demolition company less than a week to clear it and cost a couple of grand to do it.

All those old terraced houses in Burnley Wood all knocked and replaced by modern( not saying better housing). How easy was that to do. So why hasn’t this be done. There must be a reason.

I’ve sent an email to Burnley MP Oliver Ryan asking him to visit this run down area of Burnley. Let’s hope he can ‘bang a few heads together’ at local and county council level and make this area much more pleasant for visitors to the town.

Alternatively, whilst a being town in decline (like many others) we still retain our heritage, have a stunning Pennine location, decent transport links and the residents have a sense of community.

In addition, we have a football team with a long history going from top to bottom along the way. The current population of Burnley is about 78,000. For the Play-Off win at Wembley against Sheffield United in 2009 we took over 38,000 supporters.

Sports and Activities are in abundance locally. Burnley can boast two of the best amateur cricket teams (Burnley CC & Lowerhouse CC) who play in the one of the best amateur leagues in the country.

An added bonus is that award winning Real Ales (also brewed in the area) can be had for £2.00 a pint on Match days. We have had to perform CPR on a number of southern away fans in The New Brewm when they realised that 5 pints cost a tenner as opposed to £35.00 in their local.

Some photos may follow.




I'm proud of my town.

Admittedly, the entry to the town centre from Burnley Central Station is a complete eyesore. Other passengers arriving via Manchester Road Station have a far more positive experience.

Who is getting off the train at Burnley central? Does that station get any customers these days?
