About Burnley - show infohide info
Burnley is a town in Lancashire in the north-west. The town of Burnley derives its name from the River Brun (Brun-Lea) which provided essential water alongside damp fields. The Burnley area is home to two main stately houses, the most well known being Towneley Hall. It is rated one of the finest medieval manor houses in Lancashire. Burnley's market charter can be dated back to the 14th century, when the market was located close to the parish church and the Old Grammar School, in the grounds of which is the old market cross and the well. All these features of Burnley overlooked the River Brun. It was industry that drove Burnley’s growth in the 19th century, based on textiles with cotton spinning and weaving, as well as engineering and coal mining. This led to a large increase in the population of Burnley, and in the 19th century Burnley was said to be the weaving capital of the world with a pub on every corner. Today, all of the coal mines are closed, and few of the cotton mills remain. Some of engineering firms are also closed, leaving Burnley with high levels of unemployment. The bar of Burnley’s Canal Tavern still survives in the museum. The museum also displays artefacts and exhibits from the town’s smaller trades of clogging and leatherwork. From an area of old industry the new Weaver’s Triangle of businesses and warehouses has been formed. The name of the Weaver’s Triangle is not from the shape of the area, but from the fact that each mill had a huge iron triangle and a metal bar. These were operated as a warning system when fire threatened. Burnley Football Club were the founder members of The Football League, and currently compete in the English Championship. Racial tensions in Burnley have seen the rise of the far right-wing British National Party in local elections in the borough.
