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 kilometres) east of Rawtenstall, 6.4 miles (10.3 km) north of Rochdale, and 21 miles (34 km) to the east of Preston. As recorded in the 2011 Census, Bacup has a resident population of around 13323 inhabitants. Bacup emerged as a settlement after the Anglo-Saxon settlement of Britain in the Early Middle Ages. For centuries, it was a small and not well known centre of domestic flannel and woollen cloth production, and a lot of the original weavers’ cottages survive today as listed buildings. After the Industrial Revolution, Bacup transformed into a mill town, growing around the now covered bridge which crosses 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 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, which included 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 aided 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 best preserved cotton town in England, and its town centre is designated as a conservation area for its distinctive architectural qualities.
