About Fencing in Littleborough
Littleborough in Greater Manchester was little more than a chapel, a small cluster of cottages and an inn by 1472, its inhabitants mostly farmers who took up weaving wool for merchants travelling between the markets at Rochdale and Halifax. The arrival of cotton brought a wave of new families into the town, many from the neighbouring West Riding of Yorkshire, and through the 1800s Littleborough grew into a working town of flannel and cotton mills, alongside cloth bleaching works, coal mines, stone quarries and brickmaking businesses. The Rochdale Canal, opened in 1804 as the first canal to cross the Pennines and link Leeds with Manchester, passes directly through the town, and Hollingworth Lake was built on its southern side as a feeder reservoir to keep the canal supplied with water. This same Summit Gap route between Littleborough and Walsden was later chosen for the Manchester to Leeds railway, cementing the town's role as a key crossing point through the Pennines.
