Burnley (England) Reviews


Newest Review: ... So far, I've managed to come up with two possible reasons. Firstly, there's the simple fact that I couldn't afford to pay my bills and clear my debts if I was living in a more affluent town. And secondly, when I'm in more of a glass half full kind of a mood, I remind myself of all the close friends I've made here who've supported me through some very difficult times. So in the meantime, I'm riding it out in Burnley whilst I sort myself out financially. And this gives me the perfect opportunity to think of some positive points about the town, before I depress myself even further. Firstly, Burnley is ideally located if you're loo... more

Welcome to Burnley, home of race riots, BNP and dog pooh. According to Location Location Location, it's the 19th worst place to live in the UK. I wish I could argue against that point but, having lived here fore nearly 3 years, I'd struggle to come up with a watertight argument. For those of you who aren't familiar with Burnley, it's located in East Lancashire and surrounded by some beautiful countryside. When I moved to Burnley it had some of the lowest house prices in the country. According to the BBC, the current average price for a terraced property in Burnley is £78,524 which may sound cheap but is still far higher than the £20,000 or so properties ...

I lived in Burnley for about 19 years, before moving to Manchester in 1993 and then more recently to California. On a recent trip back to the UK, with a short stop in Burnley, I was appalled at just how racist the general populous of Burnley has become. I appreciate the irony that to tar everybody in the town with the same brush is equally bigotted, but any open-minded person can see it all around. Take for example some of the reviews on this web site (the prime reason I registered to write this review). And then visit the place and see the spray-painted swastikas on shop shutters (I do not exaggerate). When I worked in Burnley as a legal professional I could not believe Read the complete review

When many people hear 'Burnley' now, the first thing many of them think about is Riots, but more on that later. Burnley itself is a pleasant place to be, depending on where you go. When you come off the M65 into Burnley, you are met with run-down housing, litter in the streets and what looks like a run-down town! However, when you get past 'run down bit' you will see that there are modern, clean parts of the town. There are many businesses in the town too, ranging from Clothe shops to computer shops. There is a Burger King at one end of the Town Centre and a Mc Donalds at the other, with plenty of café's between. The roads ... Read the complete review

Burnley is in East Lancashire and is surrounded by the romantic harp-shaped hills and the rural beauty of northern England. It is famous for many things which include its world-famous football team, it was once visited by Ghandi and of course the manufacturing of 'prestige' Steel. It is home to around 50,000 people and is a relatively quiet little town which neighbours with Colne and Nelson and is a short way from the yorkshire border. Many ameneties are present such as its huge multi-screened cinema complex, countless restraunts and pubs, excellent shopping area and train station. From Burnley there is easy access north to Cubria and the ... Read the complete review

If you live anywhere near Burnley in Lancashire, you should not miss this!! The Swan Inn (44 St. James Street) are having a ladies night on Tuesday nights, you pay three pounds for a ticket and you can DRINK FREE lager, bitter and Strongbow all night (well until last orders anyway!). In addition to this they also sell Vodka, Gin, Whisky, and White Rum at 50p a shot (This offer is open to anyone even men, ticket or no ticket!) They have a DJ playing 80's revival music and then later current chart stuff! The pub is really quite nice, and has two floors, the second based on a church theme and has a Pull-Pit where you can dance, ... Read the complete review
