A short history of Great Harwood
John Mercer (1791 to 1866) is closely tied to the growth of Great Harwood, as his invention of mercerisation changed the way cotton was dyed. Cotton came to be the town's chief employer. By 1920 the Great Harwood Weavers' Association had over 5,000 members. The town stood on the North Lancs line of the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway between Blackburn and Burnley via Padiham, also known as the Great Harwood Loop. Passenger trains stopped running in November 1957 while goods trains continued until 1964 and Martholme Viaduct still stands about a mile to the north east. Nine listed buildings lie within half a mile of the centre, seven at Grade II and two at Grade II*. The two higher graded are the Roman Catholic Church of Our Lady and St Hubert with its attached presbytery and the Church of St Bartholomew.
