Burnley: Archive exhibition celebrates club's strong links to town

The story of Burnley Football Club and how they are "strongly intertwined" with the town is the focus of a new exhibition.

Clarets Collected celebrates the illustrious past of the Premier League club which won the 1914 FA Cup.

Archivist David Tilsley, who is leading the project featuring rare relics, said it also reflected how the Clarets were "the heart" of the town.

"Almost everyone in the town has a connection to the club," he said.

Dating back to 1882, Burnley were one of the original 12 founding clubs of the Football League.
