	Living Water - River Darwen home page
		The Living Water Charitable Trust (LWCT), was requested to carry out an assessment of the watershed of the River Darwen, Lancashire with the aim of identifying the impacts affecting the river and find ways of addressing these with the ultimate aim of improving water quality.
		Litter is an example of the visual problem which impairs the enjoyment of the river and reflects an underlying waste management issue, but does not have a direct impact on water quality.
		We suspect that some of this contamination is derived from the Darwen and some other rivers in the catchment.

		One of the biggest problems in the rural lower catchment of the River Darwen is litter and debris brought downstream.
		The innovative litter trap is intended to end the River Darwen's water-borne litter problem by publicising the effects of litterbugs and fly-tippers.
		Regular clean ups are held throughout the River Darwen catchment, such as those at Hoghton Bottoms, Hoghton Bottoms gorge and Witton Country Park, which need regular cleaning by volunteers because litter dropped by litterbugs gets washed down the river and ends up snagged on the riverbank, ruining the natural beauty.

	GENUKI: Over Darwen, Lancashire genealogy
		James', situated on high ground on the eastern flanks of the valley wherein flows the River Darwen and lies the town itself.
		As the separatist movement within the established church of the middle 1600's spread, Upper Darwen became quite a stronghold and a chapel was built, close to St. James', but in a position slightly lower down the hill.
		Hence, records quote Darwen as part of the parish of Blackburn, although in reality the town was fiercely independent of it's bigger neighbour (and still is to this day, in spite of the recent re-organisations in local government which has combined the two into "Blackburn with Darwen" or, as the locals prefer, "Darwen with Blackburn"!).

	Eccleshill Coal Mining
		Coal has been got in Over Darwen, Eccleshill, Tockholes, and Lower Darwen at least three centuries, very probably for a longer period, and the presence of this mineral fuel has during the interval compensated the inhabitants of these townships for the barrenness of most of the soil of the district.
		To the west of the valley of the Darwen a combination of drifts and shafts was employed to work the coal seams of Darwen Moor.
		The Darwen coal seams were gradually worked out during the last half of the nineteenth century and by 1900 mining was almost totally confined to the east side of the town, mainly in the Waterside and Hoddlesden districts.

	Derivation of the Names of Lake District Rivers
		The same British root is found in the River Dart in Devon, the River Darent in Kent, the River Darwen in Lancashire and the Yorkshire and Derbyshire Derwents.
		This is probably the British river-name 'Isca', similar to the River Exe in Devon and derived from the same root as the Welsh 'esk', water.
		The first element is probably Welsh 'glyndwfr', a river valley; the second element may be a superfluous O.N. 'á', a river; the last could be a Welsh word 'mochyn', meaning 'swine'.
