About Fencing in Burnley

Burnley in Lancashire was a centre of the wool trade in the 1700s before switching to cotton in the first half of the 19th century, a transition that would define the town for the following hundred years. The arrival of the Leeds and Liverpool Canal, which reached Burnley in 1796 and was fully connected through to Liverpool by 1816, along with the later railway, helped the town grow into one of the world's most important cotton weaving centres, with the number of looms in operation rising from around 9,000 in 1850 to a staggering 79,000 by 1900. The Weavers Triangle, a cluster of surviving 19th century mills around the canal on the west side of town, still stands as a reminder of the era when Burnley was widely regarded as the cotton weaving capital of the world.
