Overview of Blackburn

Blackburn is a large town located in Lancashire 41 miles from Manchester Airport. This journey will take around 49 minutes by taxi. When the official census of 2001 was taken Blackburn had a population of 105,085 residents.

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.[4] James Hargreaves, inventor of the spinning jenny, was a weaver in Blackburn.[5] 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. Blackburn's textile sector fell into terminal decline from the mid-20th century and subsequently faced similar challenges to other post-industrial northern towns, including deindustrialisation, economic deprivation and housing issues. Since the 1950s the town has experienced significant levels of migration, particularly from India and Pakistan, and consequently has the third highest proportion of Muslims (c.25%) in England and Wales and the highest in the United Kingdom outside London.

Tourist Attractions

The main shopping centre in Blackburn, is known as the Mall Blackburn. It has over 130 shops in the Mall itself and a further 400 other outlets nearby. The Blackburn arena which opened its doors in 1991 contains a fantastic ice rink and is also home to the Blackburn Hawkes ice hockey team. Corporation Park is to the North West of the town centre this was built on 50 acres of land owned by Joseph Fielden and officially opened on 22 October 1857. Railway companies claim that when the park opened over 14,000 people travelled to the park to observe the opening. This may be the perfect place to visit on a quiet day out.
