Bacup is a town in Lancashire, England, in the South Pennines near to Lancashire’s boundary with West Yorkshire. The town is within the Forest of Rossendale and the upper Irwell Valley, 3.5 miles (5.6 kilometres) east of Rawtenstall, 6.4 miles (10.3 km) north of Rochdale, and 21 miles (34 km) to the east of Preston. Based on the 2011 Census, Bacup has a resident population of approximately 13323 people. Bacup was established as a settlement after the Anglo-Saxon settlement of Britain in the Early Middle Ages. For a long time, it was a small and not well known centre of domestic flannel and woollen cloth manufacturing, and a lot of the original weavers’ cottages survive as listed buildings. After the Industrial Revolution, Bacup transformed into a mill town, expanding around the now covered over bridge which crosses the River Irwell and the North-South / East-West crossroad at its centre. During that time, its landscape was dominated by unique and big 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, comprising a mayor, aldermen and councillors to oversee local affairs. In 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 as well as other North West towns and cities. Nonetheless, English Heritage has proclaimed Bacup as the most preserved cotton town in England, and its town centre is named as a conservation area for its special architectural qualities.
