This little ramble will take you around the perimeter of the Jam Butty Estate in Haslingden taking in spectacular views across the Rossendale Valley and beyond- weather permitting! The area is very popular with local dog walkers so beware of muggles!
Jam Butty Ramble #2 – Behind the Workhouse
Set on a hillside, Haslingden (or Hazzy to the locals) is a thriving town with a great sense of community. To the west of the town is the Grane, a glaciated valley popular with ramblers and geocachers!. Improved motorway access in the latter 20th century called for more housing developments, including what is known locally as the "Jam Butty Estate" (once you´d moved into one of these posh houses, you lived on jam sandwiches for a good while afterwards!), situated above the town. We’ve been geocaching for some time now and having found over 600 we thought it was time to put out some of our own. Hope you enjoy our first little series.
You are now behind Rossendale Hospital. This lovely building was originally built as a workhouse in 1868 and then converted into part of Rossendale Hospital in the 1930s.
Please recover carefully as not to attract local muggles!
