Rimington: Salem Congregational Chapel Built in 1861. The far end of the building is actually the manse, while a small Sunday School (out of view) adjoins the far end. The chapel is still in use. The road in front of the chapel has the name 'Long Lover's Lane', which must rank high in my order of favourite road names, after Hull's 'Land of Green Ginger'.

The Ancient Border - lest we forget This small stream is Ings Beck and along it runs the ancient boundary between Lancashire (Twiston Parish) and Yorkshire (Rimington Parish). But in 1974, faceless timeservers in Whitehall tampered with boundaries so that now both these parishes are administered by Lancashire County Council. The cottage is, by rights, just in Yorkshire. Its name is Mines Cottage, reflecting small scale lead mining activity that once took place at the York and Lancaster Mine, which was just on the Yorkshire side of the beck, beyond the cottage. There was also another small lead mine at Skeleron, just a little further down the beck. Also, even further down, but on the Lancashire side this time, there was once a barytes mine. Barytes is actually barium sulphate, and is very rare - I know of no other barytes mine in Lancashire or Yorkshire.
