Burnley, Market town in Lancashire, England

Burnley is a town in Lancashire in northwest England. It sits at the meeting point of River Calder and River Brun between gentle hills.

The town received its market charter in 1294. During the Industrial Revolution of the 18th century, it became a major center for cotton production.

The Weavers' Triangle preserves mills and warehouses from the textile industry era. These stone buildings show the industrial heritage of Lancashire.

The town center offers market stalls with fresh produce and goods from local traders. The shops and vendors are active on most weekdays.

The Leeds and Liverpool Canal crosses the town on an embankment 60 feet (18 meters) above the ground. This section is called Straight Mile and offers views over the rooftops.
