About Fencing in Blackburn
Blackburn in Lancashire was transformed by the opening of its first cotton mill in 1814, growth so rapid that the town earned the nickname Blackburn with white chimneys as more mills sprang up across its skyline. The town developed its own particular niche within Lancashire's cotton industry, focusing chiefly on weaving rather than spinning, and the Blackburn Weavers Friendly Society, founded in 1854, reflected the strength of organised labour among the mill workforce. Although spinning gradually shifted south through the late 19th century and the wider industry declined after the First World War, Blackburn's identity as a weaving town remained central to its character for generations.
