About

Earby and Salterforth form a neighbouring pair of settlements in the eastern part of Pendle, situated where the landscape begins to rise towards the Pennine moors. The Leeds and Liverpool Canal runs directly through this area, its route historically vital for local industry. The terrain is characterised by stone-built housing and older mill structures, reflecting the area's past reliance on textiles. The local geography is defined by waterways and the proximity to open upland spaces.

The area includes the notable landmark of Salterforth's Anchor Inn, a pub famously situated at canal level with its roof at the height of the road. This specific feature speaks to the engineered landscape. Community life often centres on local clubs and the canal towpath, used for walking and cycling. The surrounding farmland and access to moorland paths like those around Weets Hill provide a distinct rural aspect to daily life here.
