Bacup, St James Street 1961

More about this scene
At this time, local industry was closing down; Bacup, which was off the beaten track, was looking for residents to commute to work in Burnley, Manchester or other towns. The town stands on the young River Irwell, in the Rossendale Valley - the name Bacup means 'in the valley by the bridge'. Bacup is the home of the famous Britannia Coconut Dancers. The whole area was also famous for the manufacture of slippers.
