Bacup is a town in Lancashire, England, in the South Pennines close to Lancashire’s boundary line with West Yorkshire. The town is within the Forest of Rossendale and the upper Irwell Valley, 3.5 miles (5.6 km) east of Rawtenstall, 6.4 miles (10.3 km) north of Rochdale, and 21 miles (34 kilometres) east of Preston. As per the 2011 Census, Bacup has a population of roughly 13323 people. Bacup emerged as a settlement after the Anglo-Saxon settlement of Britain in the Early Middle Ages. For centuries, it was a small and obscure centre of domestic flannel and woollen cloth production, and a lot of the original weavers’ cottages survive as listed buildings. After the Industrial Revolution, Bacup transformed into a mill town, developing around the now covered over bridge crossing the River Irwell and the North-South / East-West crossroad at its centre. During that time, its landscape became increasingly dominated by unique and large rectangular woollen and cotton mills. Bacup was granted a charter of incorporation in 1882, which gave it municipal borough status and its own elected town government, made up of a mayor, aldermen and councillors to oversee local affairs. During the late 20th century, Bacup became a part of the borough of Rossendale. Bacup’s historic character, culture and festivities have encouraged the town’s suburbanisation and redevelopment as a more cosmopolitan commuter town for Manchester and other North West towns and cities. Nevertheless, English Heritage has proclaimed Bacup as the best preserved cotton town in England, and its town centre is designated as a conservation area for its unique architectural qualities.
