Haslingden is one of those Lancashire Pennine towns that hasn't lost its character and interest;  old works and mills survive alongside the original housing and all of set on the sunny side of a steep valley that dissects the Pennines and gives access to the cities of Salford and Manchester from the Ribble Valley and East Lancashire Towns. The town lies bypassed by the new dual carriage way road that cuts through the hills from the M65 to the M60 (aka M62) and its busy main street half remembered. All this makes it a great place to draw and paint.
