The map
Burnley lies in a valley on the western edge of the Pennines, at the meeting point of the River Brun and the River Calder. On the map, rows of terraced streets fill the lower ground, and open moorland rises on the edges. The river lines wind through the town centre before joining.
The Leeds and Liverpool Canal runs through Burnley, crossing the valley on a raised embankment known as the Straight Mile. Beside it, the Weavers' Triangle keeps old mills and warehouses from the time when Burnley was one of the world's great cotton-weaving towns. Turf Moor, home of Burnley FC, is just east of the centre.
A Burnley map poster shows the traces of industrial history: dense terraces arranged in parallel rows, the canal cutting straight through the town, and rivers bending among them. The hills around the town frame the print, and the contrast of tight streets and open moor gives it a clear shape.
The canal crosses the town on a long, straight embankment. It is one of the most distinctive lines on the print, running above the streets below.
Long rows of terraced housing are arranged in parallel lines across the neighbourhoods. They give the print a regular, striped texture typical of northern mill towns.
The Brun and the Calder wind through the town and meet near the centre. Their curves soften the otherwise regular pattern of terraces.

Why Burnley
Burnley often hangs in the homes of people who grew up there, moved away, or have followed the Clarets for years. The terraces and canal have a solid, workmanlike look that suits kitchens, hallways and studies alike.
