The Can, Corporation Park
Corporation Park is a fine example of a traditional Victorian park close to the centre of Blackburn. The park was laid out by William Henderson and opened in 1857. The park is designated as a Grade II* Park and Garden of Special Historic Interest (https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1001344 Historic England List Entry Number: 1001344)
The park has two picturesque lakes which are home to many species of waterfowl, including mute swan and ducks. The larger water feature is known as 'the Big Can' and was formed from a pre-existing reservoir, Pemberton Clough. This was created in 1772 and was the town's water supply. Wooden pipes were laid to the town's standpipes until the installation of the mains water in 1847. The smaller lake is known as 'the Can' because people used to take cans to the lake to draw water.
