Economy

Brampton Bierlow is a former mining village, with employment primarily related to the coal industry; the economy declined after the closure of mines in the 1980s, which was, in part, sparked by the announcement of the closure of Cortonwood Colliery in the village. [3] Despite some economic recovery, Brampton was, at one point,[ when? ] declared one of the poorest areas in the European Union (before the 2004 expansion[ further explanation needed ]).

Recently,[ when? ] the economy of the area has improved, as investment has been put into infrastructure and developing light industry and service industries in the area.[ citation needed ]

Notability

Steve Rothery, guitarist of the band Marillion, was born in Brampton. [4] Footballers George Robledo and Ted Robledo, both of whom played football for local football club Barnsley F.C., grew up in the village: they were born in Chile but moved to Brampton (their mother's home) as children (in 1932) because of the instability in Chile at the time. George represented Chile at the 1950 FIFA World Cup. [5]
