A former mill town, textiles have been produced in Blackburn since the middle of the 13th century, when wool was woven in people´s houses in the domestic system. Flemish weavers who settled in the area in the 14th century helped to develop the woollen cottage industry. The most rapid period of growth and development in Blackburn´s history coincided with the industrialisation and expansion of textile manufacturing. Blackburn was a boomtown of the Industrial Revolution and amongst the first industrialised towns in the world.[citation needed]" - (en.wikipedia.org 29.02.2020)
