Bacup is a town in Lancashire, England, in the South Pennines near to Lancashire’s border with West Yorkshire. The town is in the Forest of Rossendale and the upper Irwell Valley, 3.5 miles (5.6 km) east of Rawtenstall, 6.4 miles (10.3 kilometres) north of Rochdale, and 21 miles (34 km) to the east of Preston. In accordance with the 2011 Census, Bacup has a population of around 13323 people. 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 manufacture, and a lot of the original weavers’ cottages survive as listed buildings. Following the Industrial Revolution, Bacup transformed into a mill town, developing around the now covered bridge crossing the River Irwell and the North-South / East-West crossroad at its centre. In the course of that time, its landscape became increasingly dominated by recognisable and large 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, made up of 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 along with other North West towns and cities. Nevertheless, English Heritage has proclaimed Bacup as the most preserved cotton town in England, and its town centre is designated as a conservation area for its special architectural qualities.
