Sad to see that Darwen FC from the Northern County Leagues are not contesting a winding up order next Wednesday. They were founded in 1875 and even reached an FA Cup Semi.
I'm sure you historians out there can add alot more to this

Darwen were one of the first clubs to employ professionals - quite often Scottish players nominally employed in the local textile mills. They were in the Football League during the 1890s but strictly non-league ever since.
I know the town vaguely from when I worked in Blackburn. It's part of Blackburn Borough but does have a distinct identity. You'll find it just down the road from Ewood.
