About Blackburn

Known for

Blackburn Rovers, Witton Park, the Indian food scene on King Street and Whalley Range, the Cathedral and a textile town that reinvented itself around its Asian community

A little history

A cotton weaving town that grew with the Industrial Revolution and declined with it. The town's large South Asian community — many originally recruited to work in the mills — transformed its food culture and social fabric.

Local tip

King Street and Whalley Range for authentic South Asian food — exceptional Indian, Pakistani and Bangladeshi restaurants. The Cathedral and the market. Witton Park for green space.
