Burnley is a large town in the borough of Burnley in Lancashire, England, with a population of around 73,021. It lies 19 miles (30.4 km) east of Preston at the confluence of the River Calder and River Brun. It began life in the early medieval period as a small market town, but its main period of expansion came during the Industrial Revolution, when it became the world's largest producer of cotton cloth. Today, Burnley has lost much of its industry, and is increasingly a dormitory town for Manchester, Leeds and the M65 corridor.[1] The public sector is now the town's largest employer.
