Around 1910, at the height of the Lancashire cotton trade, Blackburn employed more weavers than any other town in the world, roughly 42,000 people working looms across more than 100 mills.
Blackburn BID, representing around 360 town centre businesses, was re-elected for a second five-year term in a November 2023 ballot with an overwhelming yes vote, securing a further £1.5 million of local investment from January 2024.
