Our local MP is Jack straw who is the member of the government. Blackburn has a population of approx 130,000 inhabitats of which 25% are of asian origin the highest percentage in the UK. Our local college, has over 25,000 part time and full time students making it one of the biggest colleges in the country. historically back in the Industrial Revolution brought momentous changes to Blackburn. In 1750 Blackburn was little more than a village, but by 1850 it had become a boom town with a tenfold increase in its population. Cotton from America became the raw material for textiles. By the end of the nineteenth century Blackburn had become the cotton weaving capital of the world. The completion of the Leeds-Liverpool Canal in 1816 and the coming of the railway in 1846, cut transport costs dramatically and increased demand for cotton, and caused further expansion of both town and industry. Improvements were also made to the road system, with turnpike roads replacing the old pack horse routes.
