The Weavers' Triangle
This unique collection of buildings dating from the Victorian era was at the heart of the cotton industry in Burnley. Former mills, weaving sheds and factories cluster closely together along the banks of the Leeds and Liverpool Canal. At the Weavers Triangle Visitor Centre based in the canal toll office and the Wharfmaster’s house you can discover all about the cotton industry; see how the weavers lived and worked; find out about the construction of the canal and how it was used; enjoy the model fairground and learn about the ‘Wakes Weeks‘ holidays and take a closer look at the looms, shuttles and paraphernalia of the cotton industry. There are guided walks around the area on several occasions throughout the summer.

Oak Mount Mill Engine House
A short walk further along the canal towpath from the visitor centre is Oak Mount Mill Engine House; this is open to the public on a number of occasions throughout the summer when visitors can take a closer look at the recently restored steam engine which was originally installed in 1887 and is now operated by electric motor.
