New to Blackburn?

Blackburn was once the weaving capital of the world. Although it has since lost its mill chimneys and little of the textile industry remains, it has diversified and is now home to a host of service, electronics and light engineering businesses. Situated close to the M6 motorway junction 31 and junctions 4 to 6 of the M65, it is set in beautiful countryside and is ideally positioned for access to Manchester, Leeds, the Fylde coast, North Wales and the Lake District.
