Bacup is a town in Lancashire, England, in the South Pennines close to Lancashire’s boundary line with West Yorkshire. The town is inside the Forest of Rossendale and the upper Irwell Valley, 3.5 miles (5.6 kilometres) east of Rawtenstall, 6.4 miles (10.3 kilometres) north of Rochdale, and 21 miles (34 km) to the east of Preston. Based on the 2011 Census, Bacup has a permanent population of around 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 modest and not well known centre of domestic flannel and woollen cloth manufacture, and lots of the original weavers’ cottages survive today as listed buildings. Following the Industrial Revolution, Bacup became a mill town, developing around the now covered bridge crossing the River Irwell and the North-South / East-West crossroad at its centre. Through that time, its landscape became increasingly dominated by recognisable and large sized rectangular woollen and cotton mills. Bacup received a charter of incorporation in 1882, which gave it municipal borough status and its own elected town government, which included a mayor, aldermen and councillors to oversee local affairs. In the late 20th century, Bacup became part of 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 as well as other North West towns and cities. Nevertheless, English Heritage has named Bacup as the best preserved cotton town in England, and its town centre is named as a conservation area for its special architectural qualities.
