The project, which is currently in the development stage, is focusing on transforming and restoring the 35-acre Brookside site in Stanhill Village, Oswaldtwistle. In the past, the site has been used for farming, mining, quarrying, and textiles. Perhaps most famously, James Hargreaves created the spinning jenny here in the 1760s which revolutionised the textile industry.
Following the purchase of the site by Hyndburn Borough Council, the project team are now working on improving biodiversity, habitat recovery, carbon capture and climate recovery across the space.
