About Clitheroe - show info hide info

Clitheroe is a small town in Lancashire, England. It lies on the southern edge of the Forest of Bowland and is often used as a base for tourists in the area. The most notable building in the town is a Norman keep, quarreled as one of the smallest in the country. The town elected two members to the Unreformed House of Commons. The Great Reform Act reduced this to one. The place is now believed to be the most central town in Britain. Clitheroe enjoys one of the lowest rates of unemployment in the UK. This is largely due to the presence of several companies that each employ hundreds. Most significant are Ultraframe, Castle Cement and Tarmac. Castle Cement has been criticised for using industrial waste in its kilns, which locals claim produces poisonous dioxins. Caastle Cement claims that its filters remove these and that government inspectors have approved the plant. However, locals continue to campaign for the use of industrial waste as fuel to cease. Towns near Clitheroe include Blackburn, Preston, Lancaster, Morecambe, Burnley and Chorley.
