The town began to develop in the early medieval period as a number of farming hamlets surrounded by manor houses and royal forests, and has held a market for more than 700 years. During the Industrial Revolution it became one of Lancashire´s most prominent mill towns; at its peak, it was one of the world´s largest producers of cotton cloth and a major centre of engineering." - (en.wikipedia.org 28.09.2021) - Latitude
