Knotweed in Blackburn
Blackburn's former cotton mills and coal workings along the Leeds and Liverpool Canal left disturbed, damp ground where Japanese knotweed has flourished, particularly along disused railway sidings and old millrace channels.
Blackburn sits within our Lancashire coverage, where the main local pressure is mill-town river valleys and shared terraced boundaries.
