Great Harwood
Great Harwood is an urban district in the Hyndburn parliamentary division of Lancashire, England, 4 1/2 miles north east of Blackburn. It is a town with a proud industrial heritage. The memorial hall and town clock pay tribute to John Mercer (b.1791), the 'father' of Great Harwood, who revolutionised the cotton dyeing process. An agricultural society is also maintained. The town once lay on the Lancashire and Yorkshire railway, the last train serviced the town in November 1957.
