We took in this pillar whilst doing the OS Pathfinder Guide walk around Darwen Moor. Parked up at The Sunnyhurst Pub and nipped in for a beer before heading up the hill to the Jubilee Tower. Had a walk up to the observation deck and looked down on the pillar, which was a nice novelty. From here carried on the walk and finished off back in Darwen and a couple of Micro Pubs.

Situated next to Darwen Tower which is sadly fenced off, presumably for preservation reasons. It was a busy place today on a glorious day (the weekend which record temperatures were reached). Trig has a small plaque on and looked in good condition despite people climbing all over it.

Parked on Granville Road. Took the public right of way (PRoW) from there up to the summit of Darwen Hill and the pillar. The pillar is right next to the Jubilee Tower, which was built in 1898 to commemorate Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee, and to mark the fact that locals had won the right to access Darwen Moor. The tower currently remains covered up for repairs. The restoration project began in June 2021, and is costing £305,000.00. Back on the 11 November 2010, the dome was blown off in strong winds. A replacement was installed in January 2012

Revisit. Jubilee Tower closed for repairs; getting the scaffolding up here must have been hard work - perhaps a helicopter did the carrying? The Trig bears a plaque to record that it is maintained by the LDWA; pillar neatly painted white although the pebbledash finish doesn't seem quite right. Extensive views N. Very warm day - the slight breeze was welcome.

HISTORY: Pillar completed 30th August 1945 costing £10.13s.3d. Computed as secondary triangulation station SD74/2 within the Blackburn block during 1947. Levelled for height in 1961. Last maintained by the OS in October 1980. SITE VISIT: Overall approach from east. Good street parking in Manor Road at SD688216. Up via public track from Belgrave Road which leads all the way to the summit. Darwen Tower dominates this top and eclipses the trig pillar at around 11:00 hrs BST. White painted pillar in good condition. Spider centre plugged with tar. Flush bracket faces SSE, ~156°. All sight holes open, innards filled with debris. 202° panoramic view spans from WSW through north to east. Climbed the tower while I was here. Two other visitors, quite separate from each other also photographed the pillar and FB while I was still around!

fabulous tall monument next to this pillar which I've come to, partly as a pilgrimage walk, as its numbers are party of the 'Trig walk of life' the 3rd birthday of twin girls from Cheltenham who sadly both died two months before their 18th birthday. continued on to the HuMP summit, 2km ssw.

I was up on a day trip to Blackburn and had come here via Fernhurst Hill trig pillar and Tockholes village. It was so windy on top that it was a battle to take photographs. Still, I can't complain as I was lucky enough to have the place to myself. After climbing up the tower I then made a hasty retreat down to Darwen.

14/15 on the day. Great location. Came up the easy way from Darwen rather than use the car park at the Visitors centre. The tower is also the second stage of a multi-geocache.

one of those BSM 3476 style fb's. attacked by 2 dogs on the way up the really steep concrete track. Fantastic tower-so glad something like that can stay open without being trashed

Found this (cropped) picture of the trig point, wayback in 1992. Probably the earliest I am going to find in my records.
