Bacup is a town in Lancashire, England, in the South Pennines near 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. As recorded in the 2011 Census, Bacup has a permanent resident population of about 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 little and not well known centre of domestic flannel and woollen cloth manufacturing, and many of the original weavers’ cottages survive today as listed buildings. Following the Industrial Revolution, Bacup transformed into a mill town, growing around the now covered over bridge crossing the River Irwell and the North-South / East-West crossroad at its centre. For the duration of that time, its landscape was dominated by unique and substantially 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, consisting 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 encouraged the town’s suburbanisation and redevelopment as a more cosmopolitan commuter town for Manchester and 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 designated as a conservation area for its special architectural qualities.
