My Mother lived in Burnley. She worked for a Fishmonger/Game Merchant and it was her responsibility to drive round the farms in Lancs and Yorks districts and collect rabbits from the farms and deliver to the Towns. She was known as the "Rabbit lass Fri' Burnley". The people of Burnley would not eat Black Rabbits - they thought they were Cats.
