Settled since the Roman times, Blackburn was an industrial powerhouse until the 20th century. It was one of the most prominent textile manufacturing centres in the country, and one of the first towns to become properly industrialised in the world at the time. The town is currently undergoing a multimillion-pound redevelopment, and is a popular commuting town thanks to its proximity to Manchester.
BAE Systems have a significant presence in the area, and is one of the main employers in the town. The local council and NHS also recruit regularly here. There are also a number of nearby business and trade parks that can offer additional opportunities.
Blackburn has a lot of local history to discover thanks to it’s past, including a cathedral which dates back to the 19th Century. The town is also located in a green belt region, so there are plenty of countryside landscapes and natural areas to explore. The town has a variety of parks, and sports, especially football, are a popular pastime here.
Salaries vary here, depending on what sector you’re working in, but the overall average is around 22k per year. That said, rent here is up to 40% lower than in nearby Manchester, and you can expect to have a lot more purchasing power living here as well. Buying day to day groceries tends to work out around 10% cheaper than Manchester too. Transport wise, the town has access to several major road networks, and Manchester is 50 minutes away by train.
