Blackburn is a town in Lancashire, England. It is the main part of the Blackburn with Darwen borough, which has a population of 140,200. It was a key centre for the textile industry during the Industrial Revolution and is popularly known as the home of Blackburn Rovers Football Club. Blackburn is situated to the north of the West Pennine Moors.
Blackburn is known to fans of The Beatles as the town featured in the song "A Day in the Life". An article in the Daily Mail about a plan to fill potholes in the town caught John Lennon's eye as he was writing the song, giving birth to the lyric: "I read the news today. Oh, boy. 4,000 holes in Blackburn Lancashire". This lends itself to the title of the unofficial fanzine of Blackburn Rovers, which is called "4,000 Holes".
Blackburn has a large Asian population and has the misfortune to be represented at Westminster by Jack Straw. But even so it can't be all bad can it?

Hmmm Balckburn ...It would be like:Hercules himself one day,whilst walking thru the streets of the Bronx, took it upon himself to relieve the good people of New York of such an eyesore, and transport it to a place in time and space that should never have been inhabited. And lo after 20 days and nights with the stench of New York's most run-down, vile and nastiest neighbourhood on his back, he came across Blackburn and thought... this wasteland truly is a Sh*thole & should never feel the foot of mortal man and there deposited his burden
not sure if this was as descriptive as you needed.. hope it helps tho'

it's the home of a once fantastic football club in the UK. so if you enjoy football, you wouldn't be disappointed.
