About

Roe Lee, Brownhill and Sunnybower sit on the northern edge of Blackburn town within the borough of Blackburn with Darwen. The area is mainly residential, with a mix of semi-detached and terraced streets and small clusters of local shops. Roe Lee Park provides open space inside the neighbourhood and is a common starting point for short walks; several pedestrian routes run from the estates out into adjoining agricultural land. The layout places the three neighbourhoods close together while keeping clear links to the town centre and the surrounding green belt.

Local services include primary schools, community halls and regular bus routes that connect to Blackburn and Darwen. Small parades of shops on the main feeder roads cover everyday needs. On clear days the skyline to the north and east includes the outline of Pendle and the Ribble Valley, visible from higher streets and parkland paths. Housing stock, public green space and straightforward transport links make the area practical for people who work in Blackburn but prefer to live near open countryside.
