Bacup is a town in Lancashire, England, in the South Pennines close to Lancashire’s boundary line with West Yorkshire. The town is in 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. Based on the 2011 Census, Bacup has a resident population of around 13323 people. Bacup emerged 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 manufacturing, and a lot of the original weavers’ cottages survive today as listed buildings. Following the Industrial Revolution, Bacup transformed into 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 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, including 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 along with other North West towns and cities. Nevertheless, English Heritage has named Bacup as the most preserved cotton town in England, and its town centre is named as a conservation area for its special architectural qualities.
