	Barnoldswick - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		For hundreds of years Barnoldswick remained a small village, however the arrival of the canal, and later the (now closed) railway, spurred the development of the existing woolen industry, and helped it to become a major cotton town.
		Barnoldswick was historically administered as part of the West Riding of Yorkshire (although Blackburnshire in Lancashire sometimes claimed the area).
		It was transferred to the administrative jurisdiction of Lancashire by the Local Government Act 1972 in 1974.
