Why ragwort is a problem in Accrington
On Accrington properties, ragwort poisonous to horses and cattle, and liver damage accumulates whether the plant is grazed fresh or baled into hay. Accrington's famous brickworks and old railway sidings along the River Hyndburn left disturbed clay pits and embankments where Japanese knotweed has spread extensively across the town's post-industrial landscape.
