About Oswaldtwistle - Planning Applications & Local Development

Oswaldtwistle is a town located in the Hyndburn borough of Lancashire, just 3 miles southeast of Blackburn and adjacent to Accrington. With a strong industrial heritage, it is notable for being the hometown of James Hargreaves, inventor of the spinning jenny, and Robert "Parsley" Peel, known for his contributions to calico printing. The town is intersected by the Leeds and Liverpool Canal, which played a vital role in the export of the region's cotton goods, making it an area of interest for planning applications related to heritage and commerce.

In terms of safety, there were no crimes reported in the immediate area during the most recent reporting period (May 2026). This makes Oswaldtwistle a particularly low-crime area, which is often reflected in its desirability and property values.
