River Hyndburn : ウィキペディア英語版 | River Hyndburn
The River Hyndburn is a river in Lancashire, England. It passes through the towns of Haslingden, Baxenden, Accrington, Clayton-le-Moors, Great Harwood, before meeting Hyndburn Brook, before ultimately joining the River Calder. The Hyndburn borough of Lancashire is named after the river. ==Meaning of river-name== The name is from Old English ''burna'' "stream" (not Old Norse ''brunnr'' 'spring' as with some place-names over the boundary in North Yorkshire). The first element of the name is uncertain; it may be Old English ''hyldre'' "an elder-tree", or ''hynd'' "hind", or the Old Norse/Old English personal name Helþor/Helthor. The name was recorded as ''Hinbrun'' in 984 AD. two streams which go on to become the River Hyndburn lie within the old township of Henheads. The township is thought to be thus named because the Hyndburn was more often called the Henburn in the past.
