About Fencing in Bacup
Bacup in Lancashire grew as a cotton and textile town within the Rossendale Valley, and the settlement is perhaps best known today for the Britannia Coconut Dancers, a troupe of Lancastrian clog dancers who blacken their faces and dance seven miles through the town and surrounding streets every Easter. The present team traces its lineage back to the early 1920s, when their predecessors, based at the Britannia Mill, learned the dance from the Tunstead Mill Nutters, another troupe from the Bacup area, and their processional dance alternates between jogging along the road and clapping together wooden coconuts, made from old bobbin tops salvaged from the cotton mills, strapped to their hands, knees and waists. The exact origins of the custom remain uncertain, with some tracing it back to migrant mill and quarry workers who settled in the area in earlier centuries, but the tradition endures as one of the most distinctive folk customs anywhere in Lancashire.
