Bacup
Bacup is a town in Lancashire, England, in the South Pennines close to Lancashire's border line 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 km) north of Rochdale, and 21 miles (34 km) east of Preston. Based on the 2011 Census, Bacup has a resident population of about 13323 inhabitants. Bacup was created as a settlement following the Anglo-Saxon settlement of Britain in the Early Middle Ages. For centuries, it was a modest and not well known centre of domestic flannel and woollen cloth manufacture, and a lot of the original weavers' cottages survive as listed buildings. After the Industrial Revolution, Bacup became a mill town, growing around the now covered over bridge which crosses the River Irwell and the North-South / East-West crossroad at its centre. For the duration of that time, its landscape became increasingly dominated by recognisable and large sized rectangular woollen and cotton mills. Bacup acquired 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. During the late 20th century, Bacup was integrated into the borough of Rossendale. Bacup's historic character, culture and festivities have helped 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.
