Interesting stuff about Blackburn. Blackburn
is a large town in Lancashire, England. It lies to the north of the
West Pennine Moors on the southern edge of the Ribble Valley, 8.9
miles (14.3 km) east of the city of Preston, and 21 miles (34 km)
north-northwest of the city of Manchester. Blackburn is bounded to
the south by Darwen, with which it forms the unitary authority area
of Blackburn with Darwen, Blackburn being the administrative centre.
At the time of the UK Government's 2001 census, Blackburn had a
population of 105,085, whilst the wider borough of Blackburn with
Darwen had a population of 137,470.
A former mill town, textiles have been produced in Blackburn since
the middle of the 13th century, when wool was woven in people's
houses in the domestic system. Flemish weavers who settled in the
area during the 14th century helped to develop the woollen cottage
industry in the region. James Hargreaves, inventor of the spinning
jenny, was a weaver in Blackburn. The most rapid period of growth
and development in Blackburn's history coincided with the
industrialisation and expansion of textile manufacturing. Blackburn
was a boomtown of the Industrial Revolution, and amongst the first
industrialised towns in the world. |
