Location

Meins Road is one of Blackburns most prestigious locations and along it’s length are some fine examples of both period and more contemporary properties.

At the end of the Road is the Wilmar Lodge section of Westholme School which is widely renowned as one of the premier girls educational establishments in the North of England. Other schools, including Queen Elizabeths’s Grammar School, can also be found on this West side of town.

Meins Road has a distinctly ‘semi-rural retreat’ atmosphere yet Blackburn’s commercial heart is conveniently within 1.5 miles.

From this west side you can be quickly on to arterial routes which link with the M65 at Whitebirk and the M6 at Preston. Commuting throughout East/Central Lancashire is a distinct option.
