There is no doubt that the three main types of employment in Bacup and Stacksteads consisted of Mill work, Quarrying, or Mining. Many men thought themselves very fortunate if they could land a job working for the railway company. Others took up occupations such as Grooms, Postmen, Knocker Uppers, Lamplighters, Coal men, Deliverymen, Foundry workers, Jute Makers, Pipe Makers such as at Temperleys to name but a few.
