FORM GUIDE

BURNLEY 21  PNE 10

Burnley is a town in Lancashire, England. Its unparished area contains 190 buildings that are recorded in the National Heritage List for England as designated listed buildings. Of these, one is listed at Grade I, the highest of the three grades, three are at Grade II*, the middle grade, and the others are at Grade II, the lowest grade.

Burnley was originally a market town, having been granted the right to hold a market from 1294, and it was surrounded by farmland. Much of this changed with the arrival of the Industrial Revolution. The Leeds and Liverpool Canal came to the town from Leeds in 1796, continuing west in 1801, finally connecting to Liverpool in 1816 and the town then developed into a major cotton town. Its population rose from about 4,000 in 1801 to over 97,000 a century later. During the second half of the 19th century it became "one of the most important cotton-weaving towns in the world".[1] The number of looms in the town rose from 9,000 in 1850 to 79,000 in 1900, and more large mills were built in the early years of the 20th century.[1]

In 1974 the borough of Burnley was established, which included the town of Burnley and surrounding towns, villages and countryside. Many of the outlying areas continued to be civil parishes, but the town of Burnley itself is unparished. This list contains the listed buildings in the unparished area of Burnley. The listed buildings in the outlying civil parishes are included in separate lists.

The listing buildings in the unparished area of Burnley reflect its history. Most of the oldest buildings originated as farmhouses or farm buildings, and also include the parish church, the country house Towneley Hall, and structures associated with these. Later there are structures associated with the Leeds and Liverpool Canal, and with the East Lancashire Railway, which arrived in the town toward the middle of the 19th century. The later buildings include industrial buildings, in particular cotton mills, together with houses for their workers, and villas for those who became wealthy at the time. There are also the buildings common to all towns, such as churches, schools, public houses, shops, banks, offices, a music hall, structures in public parks, and civic buildings.

A LOCAL



In The Dressing Room

Manager Ryan Lowe confirmed in his pre-match press conference that Ben Whiteman and Troy Parrott - who both missed the previous fixture through injury - are back in training.

Midfielder Josh Onomah, after making his debut last weekend, has been doing double sessions while he looks to build up his match fitness.

Emil Riis and Lewis Leigh remain the only absentees, with the rest of the squad available for selection for Saturday's Lancashire derby.

A Look At Our Hosts


Burnley head into the weekend’s game in a rich vein of form, having won each of their last nine Championship fixtures, and 13 of their last 14.

Having lost just twice all campaign, Vincent Kompany’s men are comfortable leaders of the division, with a seven-point gap between themselves and second place, and a 17-point cushion to third.

If they can continue on the same path, they could secure promotion back to the Premier League at the first time of asking well before the season is up.

One To Watch


Manager Vincent Kompany made the most of his Belgian connections when recruiting players for his new-look Burnley side, with Anass Zaroury just one of those who arrived from the top tier of Kompany's homeland.

Zaroury – who represented Morocco at the Qatar World Cup – moved to East Lancashire in August 2022 and made his Championship bow for the Clarets at Deepdale against PNE.

Since that point, he has really endeared himself to the Burnley faithful, having scored six and assisted three in Championship action, and the skill he has at his disposal certainly seems to get the crowd off their seats.

Match Officials

Darren Bond will be the man to referee this weekend’s Lancashire derby.

Bond has taken charge of just one PNE fixture so far this season – the home draw against Watford in August 2022 – while he has been the main official for 25 games in total this campaign.

In that time, he has shown 115 yellow cards and two reds.
