A short history of Bamber Bridge
A Roman settlement and industrial area at Winery Lane is a scheduled monument near the centre of Bamber Bridge. The name comes from Old English words that probably mean a bridge made from a tree trunk. Calico printing was established in the village by 1764 and was the first of its kind in Lancashire. In 1857 a downturn in the cotton trade led a large local spinner to report heavy liabilities. Withy Trees Mill burnt down on 31 October 1859 and 250 people lost their work. In 1862 the stoppage of Dewhurst's Mill threw 600 people out of work. George Woodcock, a trade unionist, was born in the village in 1904. In 1943 the Battle of Bamber Bridge broke out and Private William Crossland was killed. There are 23 listed buildings nearby, with Todd Hall and the Church of St Leonard both graded II*.
