3. The famous Olympic cyclist Steven Burke is from Colne
4. Wallace Hartley, band leader on board the RMS Titanic was brought up and lived in Colne. He has a memorial near the Library and is buried in the town's cemetery.
5. It is about the only town I know that has a Sainsbury's, ASDA, Tesco's, Aldi and soon to be built Lidl. We will never run out of food in the apocalypse.
6. There are several famous actors from the town including Natalie Gumede (Strictly Come Dancing, Coronation Street) Jessica Forrest (Hollyoaks) and Hannah Hobley (Benidorm).

9.  It has plenty of pubs
10. It has a theatre called the Municipal Hall where I have performed several times.
11. Colne is approximately 5 miles east of Pendle Hill, arguably the most well-known local landmark. It is because of this that Colne is associated with the Pendle witches, many local people walk up the hill, but particularly at Halloween.
