Barrowford (/ˌbæroʊˈfɔːrd/) is a village and civil parish in the Pendle district of Lancashire, England, north of Nelson,[1] near the Forest of Bowland Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

The toll house was restored in the 1980s and is owned by the trust which operates nearby Pendle Heritage Centre.

The packhorse bridge near Higherford Mill is the oldest in Barrowford, dating to the end of the 16th century.

For the next fifty years, cotton cloth was woven in the many handloom weavers' cottages which can still be seen along the village's main road.

[6] One of the last examples of a working weaving shed could be seen at the East Lancashire Towel Company, but the firm, moved to premises in Nelson, and ceased production in the United Kingdom altogether.

[7] The parish is split between the Barrowford and Blacko and Higherford wards of Pendle Borough Council.
