Cryptic crossword No 3,601

Nice one Four5tring- hope you’re not from the Blackburn-Leyland area! Well done with getting the themers in so neatly (I notice there’s even a nod to something more current around the NE corner)- and for putting together some great clues. Faves included 7a, 10a, 22a, 25a (just!), 9d, 18d (very clever- fooled by trying to overlap ‘anal’), 21d, & 24d. Thanks.
