There is plenty to see along the Hyndburn Greenway and an earlier project saw local artist Gosha Gibek and Prospects Foundation’s Sonja Bottomer working with White Ash Special to create beautiful artwork that shows the things you might see or hear through the seasons along the Hyndburn Greenway. You can see the results on this page communityraillancashire.co.uk/hyndburn-greenway-through-the-seasons/
The exhibition and walk leaflet have been jointly funded through the Community Rail Network’s Community Rail Development Fund, Lancashire County Council’s Active Travel Fund, Northern’s Community Project Fund and Community Rail Lancashire.
