Welcome to Blacko's Community Web site

This web site has been provided by the kind generosity of Localsonline and www.atpendlehill.com

Blacko is on the old turnpike road to Gisburn (A682) and has magnificent views across the meadows to Pendle Hill. Overlooking the village is the intriguing Stanfield's Tower built around 1890. A local grocer Jonathan Stansfield was purported to have built this circular rough stone tower to provide himself with a fine view over Ribblesdale from the top, but the height fell somewhat short. Below is the popular picnic spot of the Watermeetings. A Bronze Age axe believed to be 3,500 years old, was found near the tower in 1952 by a local man.

Blacko is set on a hill overlooking Pendle Water and in 2002 was a winner in the Lancashire Best Kept Village competition
