Colne (Lancashire)

    0.06 sec.

Colne

Town in Lancashire, England, 9 km/6 mi northeast of Burnley; population (2001) 20,100. It is situated in a Pennine valley, and forms a continuous urban area with Nelson, Brierfield, and Burnley. Colne is a closely-built town, and suffered severely through the decline of the cotton industry; large numbers of old workers' houses were demolished. It now has a wide variety of new industries, including metal-working, plastics, and clothing.
