Downham
Village 
Beautifully
situated beneath Pendle Hill, Downham is arguably the
most delightful village in Lancashire. Completely unspoiled,
the village retains an atmosphere of a time gone by and
because of this is often used by film and television companies
for period scenes.
Most
famously, Downham was used as the location for the 1961
Richard Attenborough film 'Whistle Down the Wind' starring
Hayley Mills and Alan Bates, which was taken from the
novel by Mary Hayley Bell, published in 1958
