About Oswaldtwistle
Oswaldtwistle is a town located in the Hyndburn borough of Lancashire, just 3 miles southeast of Blackburn and adjacent to Accrington.

The town is intersected by the Leeds and Liverpool Canal, which played a vital role in the export of the region's cotton goods, making it an area of interest for planning applications related to heritage and commerce.
