Bacup is a town in Lancashire, England, in the South Pennines near to Lancashire’s border line 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 kilometres) to the east of Preston. As recorded in the 2011 Census, Bacup has a permanent resident population of around 13323 inhabitants. Bacup emerged as a settlement following the Anglo-Saxon settlement of Britain in the Early Middle Ages. For centuries, it was a little and obscure centre of domestic flannel and woollen cloth production, and lots of the original weavers’ cottages survive today as listed buildings. After the Industrial Revolution, Bacup became a mill town, expanding around the now covered bridge which crosses the River Irwell and the North-South / East-West crossroad at its centre. Throughout that time, its landscape was increasingly dominated by distinctive 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, including a mayor, aldermen and councillors to oversee local affairs. In the late 20th century, Bacup was integrated into the borough of Rossendale. Bacup’s historic character, culture and festivities have led to the town’s suburbanisation and redevelopment as a more cosmopolitan commuter town for Manchester and also other North West towns and cities. Nonetheless, English Heritage has named Bacup as the best preserved cotton town in England, and its town centre is designated as a conservation area for its special architectural qualities.
