POPULATED
BLACKBURN
I
made a visit to see my cousin Tin's family, while I was on holiday
in Preston, in 2010.
The town is located only about 40 minutes car ride
from Preston – Blackburn.
I
did not get to visit the town – as I am on a visiting trip to see
relatives who are running a Chinese restaurant, here.
Blackburn
is a town in Lancashire, England – lies to the north of the West
Pennine Moors on the southern edge of the Ribble Valley – east of
Preston and north of Manchester. A former mill town, textiles have
been produced in Blackburn since the middle of the 13th
century, where wool was woven in people's houses in the domestic
system. Textile business declined in the mid 20th century
and faced challenges to other post-industrial northern towns
including deindustrialisation, economic deprivation and housing
issues. In recent decades, the tow has experienced high immigration
with people of ethnic backgrounds making up the population. Nowadays,
Blackburn has had significant investment and redevelopment since 1958
through government funding and the European Regional Development
Fund.
