Brownhill sports a number of local businesses including Brownhill Pharmacy, Brownhill Post Office, Brownhill Arms (situated approximately 0.3 miles from Ramsgreave and Wilpshire railway station) and Videorama. In the centre of Brownhill is the junction of the A666 Whalley New Road and A6119 Blackburn Ring Road; when the ring road was built in the 1920s it was a roundabout with the Blackburn to Wilpshire tram route through the middle.〔 〕 Brownhill has three churches: Holy Souls (Roman Catholic), St Gabriels (Church of England) and Trinity (Congregational). St Gabriel's is located on Brownhill Drive, and was built in 1933〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=St Gabriel's Church Website: About Us ) 〕 to replace the original St Gabriel's Church, which was situated on Pearl Street. St Gabriel's is now somewhat of a famous Blackburnian landmark over due to its 'light-up' red cross, which was installed in 1964, can be seen as far away as Clayton-le-Moors (approximately 8 miles). The BP garage in Brownhill offers 24-hour fuel, off licence and grocery services. ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Brownhill」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
