About Fencing in Great Harwood

Great Harwood in Lancashire grew steadily through the 19th century into a centre of cotton weaving, part of the same industrial expansion that transformed much of east Lancashire during the period, with mills established across the town to spin and weave cotton cloth for markets both at home and abroad. Improved transport links, including canal and later rail connections through the surrounding area, helped the town's mills reach wider markets, and cotton remained the backbone of the local economy well into the 20th century. Great Harwood sits close to Blackburn, Accrington and Clitheroe on the edge of the Ribble Valley, and though the cotton trade has long since declined, the terraced streets and mill buildings raised during that period still shape the character of the town today.
