Tacklers' Trails
'Four fascinating, mainly town trails, giving an insight into the cotton industry, the canal, and water power. Points of interest along the way include 16th Marsden Hall, award-winning Lomeshaye Marsh Local Nature Reserve, St Mary's Church, with the second highest spire in Lancashire, and Selina Cooper's home, a famous local suffragist, and fighter for worker's rights.'
The four Trails are titled: [1] Tacklers' Trail - - - : [2] Tunstill Trek - - - : [3] Weavers' Walk - - - : [4] Walton Way. A Tackler was 'a supervisor in a textile factory responsible for the working of a number of power looms and the weavers who operated them. The title derived from the job, which was to "tackle" any mechanical problems encountered with the looms in their charge'. [Wikipedia 24 October 2015]
