	River Darwen
		It is joined by the River Blakewater near Witton Country Park in Blackburn and leaves the mostly urban landscapes of the towns behind, flowing through parklands and valleys.
		A further tributary, the River Roddlesworth, joins the Darwen at the bottom of Moulden Brow on the boundary between Blackburn with Darwen and Chorley Borough Council (the name Moulden Brow being associated with Moulden Water, an alternative name for this stretch of the river).
		In this poem, the river appears to be named "Darwent," giving evidence of its derivation from a Brythonic dialect form similar to the Old Welsh derwenyd (Modern Welsh derwenydd), meaning "valley thick with oaks".

		The trade was to a remarkable extent concentrated in a single county : of nearly 2,300 mills engaged in cotton production in 1860 more than 1,900 were in Lancashire itself.
		The harnessing of steam liberated the industry from the river valleys, so that soon mills were spreading across the upland moors.
		The trade in a very short time not only absorbed the whole town, but spread out into the county districts around and the banks of the Blakewater are covered with great mills right up the valley to Accrington.
