About Fencing in Nelson
Nelson in Lancashire began as two separate villages, Little Marsden and Great Marsden, and only became one town after the arrival of the Leeds and Liverpool Canal in 1796 and the East Lancashire Railway in 1849 spurred rapid industrial growth built on cotton weaving. The town actually takes its unusual name from a railway station, itself named after the nearby Lord Nelson Inn, a public house honouring Admiral Lord Nelson, since there was already a station called Marsden on the railway network in Yorkshire and a new name was needed to avoid confusion. By the late 19th century Nelson had the fastest growth rate in all of Lancashire, becoming the fourth largest weaving centre in the north east of the county and gaining municipal borough status in 1890.
