Pendle, Administrative district in Lancashire, England.
Pendle spans 169 square kilometers of northern East Lancashire, encompassing both urban settlements and expansive countryside with rolling hills and valleys.
The district, established in 1974, evolved from a textile manufacturing center with wool production in the 1700s to cotton mills following the Leeds and Liverpool Canal construction.
Lancashire witches trials of the 17th century shaped the district's heritage, with Pendle Hill standing as a central figure in regional folklore and traditions.
Three railway stations in Nelson, Colne, and Brierfield connect residents to major transportation networks while serving the district's 97,039 inhabitants.
The aerospace industry maintains a strong presence in Pendle through Rolls-Royce facilities in Barnoldswick, contributing to the district's manufacturing sector.
