Covering: Blackburn, Burnley, Accrington, Darwen, Clitheroe, Nelson, Rawtenstall and the rest of the BB postcode area.
The local landmark: Blackburn Cathedral sits at the heart of the town, with Pendle Hill rising beyond Clitheroe.
Students: The University of Lancashire, formerly UCLan, teaches in Burnley at the Grade II listed Victoria Mill, and Blackburn College runs a university centre in the town.
On the ground: Tight rows of stone and brick mill town terraces open straight onto the pavement, which keeps most carries short. If carrying is the hard part, Assisted from £349 brings us inside, with a two-person crew when furniture or bikes are aboard (£15 per end for 2nd or 3rd floor with no lift, £30 for 4th and up).
Who makes this move: Typically graduates and families with Lancashire roots returning from London for the mill towns and the Ribble Valley, where a terraced house offers far more room.
While you wait for the van: The Beatles mention four thousand holes in Blackburn, Lancashire in A Day in the Life, a line inspired by a newspaper story about the state of the local roads.
