Over the next three centuries, Burnley grew in size to about 1,200 inhabitants by 1550, still centred around the church, St Peter’s, in what is now known as ‘Top o’ th’ Town’. Prosperous residents built larger houses, including Gawthorpe Hall and Towneley Hall, and in 1532 St Peter’s Church was largely rebuilt.[8] Burnley’s grammar school was founded in 1559, and moved into its own schoolhouse next to the church in 1602.[9] Burnley began to develop in this period into a small market town. It is known that weaving was established in the town by the middle of the seventeenth-century,[10] and in 1617 a new Market House was built. The town continued to be centred on St Peter’s Church until the market was moved to the bottom of what is today Manchester Road at the end of the eighteenth-century.[11]

The town of Burnley is situated in East Lancashire and prospered during the Industrial Revolution as a centre of cotton production. Although this industry has now declined, much evidence its legacy and the prosperity it brought remains. The town boasts a magnificent Victorian town hall and the world’s only working steam-powered weaving mill.

Burnley has been run by the BNP for several years now, who have kept a stranglehold on the town using mind altering substances in the drinking water (which is ... used for bathing and washing). They currently plan to raise Hitler from the dead in the town.
