WE travelled back in time nearly a century for last week’s conundrum, but Raymond Lucas was not puzzled.

He was the first to name Stopes Brow in Lower Darwen - and he should know, he was born in a shop in the bottom right of the image.

The steep incline was laid with cobbled setts so that horses could get a grip with their hooves as they hauled carts, loaded with goods, up and down to local factories or delivered coal and milk to residents.

It must have been a bumpy ride for the cyclist in the image as he rode down the road.

It would some years before the Royal Ordnance Factory, better known as the fuse factory, opened at the top of Stopes Brow. providing hundreds of jobs for local workers, who made fuse mechanisms for bombs and shells during the Second World War.
