Earby is a small town and civil parish in the Borough of Pendle, Lancashire, in England, sitting close to the county boundary with Yorkshire. It grew up as a local market and textile centre during the industrial era and was historically part of the West Riding of Yorkshire until the 1974 boundary changes; like many towns it lost its railway link in the mid-20th century when the local line to Colne and Skipton closed, a loss still noted by campaigners today.
Today Earby feels like a service and community hub for surrounding villages, with small-scale industry, shops and active clubs, while its position on the edge of upland countryside - convenient for walkers heading towards the Yorkshire Dales, the Forest of Bowland and the Pennines - gives it a distinctly rural fringe character and a strong local identity. Social life centres on community events, pubs and sports clubs, reflecting a blend of industrial heritage and country living.
