William Henry Hornby (1805–1884)
William Henry Hornby (1805–1884) an English cotton spinner, industrialist and politician. He became the first Mayor of Blackburn in Lancashire and national chairman of the Conservative Party. Life He was the son of the cotton spinner John Hornby (1763–1841) and his wife Alice Kendall Backhouse, daughter of Daniel Backhouse, born in Blackburn. During the 1820s the Hornby family business, a partnership with John Birley, expanded with the construction of a cotton spinning mill out of the centre of Blackburn, in the Brookhouse area on the River Blakewater.
