Speaking to the owners of the neighbouring properties is recommended. If you are still unsure, you may need to check the original deeds to the property. Generally the rule is that you are responsible for the fence at the right hand side of your property.
Bacup
Bacup is a town in Lancashire, England, in the South Pennines near to Lancashire's border with West Yorkshire. The town is in the Forest of Rossendale and the upper Irwell Valley, 3.5 miles (5.6 km) east of Rawtenstall, 6.4 miles (10.3 km) north of Rochdale, and 21 miles (34 km) east of Preston. According to the 2011 Census, Bacup has a resident population of around 13323 inhabitants. Bacup was established as a settlement following the Anglo-Saxon settlement of Britain in the Early Middle Ages. For centuries, it was a modest and obscure centre of domestic flannel and woollen cloth production, and several of the original weavers' cottages survive today as listed buildings. After the Industrial Revolution, Bacup became a mill town, expanding around the now covered bridge crossing the River Irwell and the North-South / East-West crossroad at its centre. Through that time, its landscape became increasingly dominated by unique and big rectangular woollen and cotton mills. Bacup was granted a charter of incorporation in 1882, which gave it municipal borough status and its own elected town government, made up of a mayor, aldermen and councillors to oversee local affairs. During the late 20th century, Bacup was integrated into the borough of Rossendale. Bacup's historic character, culture and festivities have helped the town's suburbanisation and redevelopment as a more cosmopolitan commuter town for Manchester and also other North West towns and cities. Nevertheless, English Heritage has named Bacup as the best preserved cotton town in England, and its town centre is named as a conservation area for its distinctive architectural qualities. For all your property improvements, be sure that you employ trustworthy experts in Bacup to make sure you get the very best quality service.
