Like many towns in the area, Bolton became a centre for the production of textiles after Flemish weavers settled there in the fifteenth century. Consequently, the town developed significantly during the Industrial Revolution, as the cotton and textile industry rapidly expanded due to mechanisation. By 1929, it was one of the world’s largest centre for the production of cotton spinning. It was, however, an industry that declined rapidly after the First World War and within fifty years the cotton manufacturers had all but disappeared from Bolton.
