If you look closely enough, you'll see hundreds of hidden faces peering back at you
Picture this: It's a baking hot day, you've just trekked up to Darwen Tower to admire the panoramic views as far as the Fylde Coast and beyond.
Enter the Ranken Arms on Queen Street in Hoddlesden. It's like an oasis appearing after hours of nothing but sand dunes and blistering heat in the desert.But you're in a tiny and relatively sleepy village just outside of Darwen. Hoddlesden is a pleasant and attractive village and is, as you've probably gathered, settled in a prime spot for walkers and cyclists who have ventured up the the tower and across the moors.
Pop into the Hoddlesten's deli and shop for vital supplies, a freshly-made sandwich and service with a smile. Admire the ornate bus shelter, which looks like a summer house and pause for a moment and sit on a bench on the cute square. If you look carefully, you can spot hundreds of clay faces fixed into a sculpture as part of an art project back in 2006. Each face represents a former employee of Places Pipeworks, which was based on the site until 1950. The faces were created at Carus Centre in the village, which was housed inside the traditional mill.
