Around Bacup.
Bacup is a former cotton and shoe-making town at the head of the Rossendale valley, with a well-preserved Victorian centre and the Britannia Coconut Dancers. Housing is largely stone terraces on steep streets, exposed to Pennine weather. Roofing, damp and heating work is in steady demand. A Bacup business should name Stacksteads, Britannia and Weir, and keep things simple and clear on price.
Whitworth (3 miles), Rawtenstall (4 miles) and Haslingden (5 miles) are the nearest in the same council area. Elsewhere in Lancashire, Burnley (6 miles) and Accrington (8 miles) are within reach. Across the boundary into the next council area, Todmorden (4 miles), Rochdale (6 miles) and Heywood (8 miles) are also close. Naming the towns you actually cover tells people straight away whether you will come to them.
Within Bacup itself, we build for businesses in Stacksteads, Britannia, Weir and Sharneyford.
From our base in Exeter, Bacup is about 214 miles to the north. Its postcodes start OL.
