RE, Link road through Bailey’s Field in Darwen to open up development sites The original idea goes back even longer.

My parents married in 1950 and my dad was interested in buying a small house on Holden Fold but was advised against the idea by a friend who worked in the Borough Engineer’s office, and who knew about the plan to build a “town centre bypass”, I think it was called.
