The 1868 General Election result for Blackburn was declared null and void after allegations of intimidation of voters and bribing them with ale.

Blackburn was at the centre of anti-powerloom ‘Luddite’ riots when a mob destroyed 212 powerlooms in the space of 35 minutes.

It was the site of a Roman Temple and was then a place of medieval ‘pilgrimage and healing’.

Blackburn was the first town in the UK to take on mass fingerprinting.

The club shirts are a consequence of the merger between two public schools.

Hoghton Tower is the location of the sirloin steak getting its name. It is said that King James I knighted a particularly tasty piece of beef saying 'arise Sir Loin'.

Susan Boyle is from Blackburn.

Similar to King Arthur bestowing a knighthood on one of his heavily spotted (most likely postules resulting from overindulgence in the less than beneficial popular fatty diet of the time) members of his staff from the Blackburn area.
"Arise Sir Lance-a-lot of Boyles" . (no relation to Susan ?).

Not that Blackburn the one in Scotland, or were you just being mischievous?
