Bacup is a town in Lancashire, England, in the South Pennines close to Lancashire’s boundary 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 kilometres) to the east of Preston. As recorded in the 2011 Census, Bacup has a population of around 13323 people. Bacup was established as a settlement following the Anglo-Saxon settlement of Britain in the Early Middle Ages. For centuries, it was a small and obscure 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 over bridge crossing 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 big 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. During the late 20th century, Bacup became part of 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 along with other North West towns and cities. Nonetheless, 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 distinctive architectural qualities.
