Cleaner streets, safer neighbourhoods, investment

key priorities, to improve our local area and the
image of the town, which in turn will enhance the
town’s investment potential.
We are developing strong links with our local
businesses to understand issues they are facing,

the campus.
The new College is located on a 10acre site on Princess Way on the edge
of Burnley town centre, providing an
impressive presence on a key gateway
into Burnley. The campus will be easily

Burnley’s location, at the heart of rural
Pennine Lancashire, is one of the key
factors and benefits to people and
businesses moving to the town, placing
them at the centre of the UK.

Bradford, Blackpool, Liverpool
• 3 exciting cities of Manchester, Leeds
and Liverpool
Burnley benefits from direct links into the
national motorway via the M65 which
runs through the centre of the borough.
Exciting Waterside Regeneration at the heart of the town centre
English Heritage Commissioner and
best selling author, Bill Bryson, gives
his backing to the multi million pound
plans to transform Burnley’s Historic

fantastic to waste and are a vivid reminder of what
made this country great. This area may never be
cotton mills again, but it can be transformed into
wonderful houses, businesses and leisure facilities.”
The Weavers’ Triangle is the name given to an area
of unique canalside heritage located at the heart
of Burnley, just minutes from the town centre. It
is an area widely recognised as one of the most
important architectural Victorian industrial heritage
sites in the North West, which was leading the world
in the 19th Century. It includes a range of assets of
important historic heritage.
Considerable investment is being made in this
area, to transform this sleeping giant into a unique
waterside leisure development at the heart of the
town – creating loft apartment living, art galleries,
restaurants and outdoor theatre.

After diving around on the school
playground and several requests
from my parents, Mr Philip Lombard
let me go to football lessons with
the boys. Eventually I was given my
chance and started playing for the
A-team at school. Then I joined Bank
Hall FC and played on Sundays for
the boys.

P ro u d h e r i t ag e
Burnley is a town rich in industrial
architecture, but whilst the town is
extremely proud of its industrial ‘cotton’
heritage, the perception of the area
as being one of mills has long been
inaccurate and a distorted reflection of
the vibrant modern town of today.
King Cotton
The second half of the 19th Century
saw Burnley’s development into the
most important cotton-weaving town in
the world.
In 1850 there were some 9,000 looms
in the town, all belonging to firms whose
main business was spinning. By 1900
Burnley had 79,000 looms, the majority
owned by firms engaged solely in
weaving.
One of the main reasons for this
change was the introduction of the new
technique of ring spinning in Oldham
during the 1880s. This made it cheaper
for Burnley manufacturers to buy yarn
rather than spin it themselves.
By 1886 it was claimed that Burnley
was producing a greater length of
cotton cloth than any other town in the
world. For more information on Burnley’s
fascinating history visit and the opening
time of the visitor information centre log
onto www.weaverstriangle.co.uk
“While Manchester was the heart
and Liverpool the lungs of the
industrial revolution, Lancashire
and Burnley in particular was
the muscle and should be proud
to remember how it created the
world.”

By the start of 1853, after 14 years in
command of his regiment, Scarlett was ready
to retire when he was called upon to defend
the country in the Crimean War. It was then on
October 25th 1854 that his role in history was
made.

Delivering Burnley’s Vision
The History of the House
Rosehill House Hotel was built in 1856, for wealthy cotton mill owner Adam Dugdale.
The house went through several changes of ownership, including the mayor of Burnley,
Mr Sam Taylor, and was also occupied by the home guard during the second world
war. Rosehill House was then converted into a hotel in 1963. Many of the elaborate
features of the original decor have been retained, including a number of beautifully
ornate ceilings, which give the hotel a unique charm and character.
The Restaurant
Inventive and creative, choose from our extensive range of modern English cuisine.
For that formal but intimate occasion it must be Dugdales, within the wood-panelled
dining room where quality is the hallmark. Our head chef offers the finest dishes from
the freshest ingredients, created with flair and imagination.
The Bedrooms
The Rosehill house welcome males you feel as though you are living in your own
country house, with all the facilities that implies. The hotel features 34 individuallydesigned bedrooms.
Each room has a character of its own and whether staying in the main house or the
splendidly restored coach house, there are fine antiques, exquisite soft furnishings
and yet all the modern-day facilities that you would expect from a first-class, familyrun, country house hotel. The rooms and suites combine today’s comforts with an
opportunity to feel the history that the rooms have experienced.
