The Biggest Pear Drop in the World

Oswaldtwistle Mills is the home to the biggest pear drop in the world. You used to have to pay to go and see it, but now it's free.

It's also a lot smaller, I think, than it once was. This is because after people had paid to go behind the curtain to have a look, you could hardly blame them for having a lick too.

Over the years this has, therefore, resulted in a bit of shrinkage.

It is now protected behind glass to prevent it from being sucked into oblivion (quite literally).
