Origin/meaning
The arms were officially granted on January 9, 1980.
Pendle Borough merged six Lancashire councils with three Yorkshire ones. This is reflected by the six red and three white roses in the crest, and the mainly red and white colouring of the shield. On the red are placed two cotton sprigs and a fleece, for the textile industries that led to the growth of the area's towns. On the chevron is a black lozenge for coal mining and two black cogwheels, for newer engineering industries. The chief is a representation of Pendle Hill, green against a blue sky, which gives its name to the Borough.
The crown in the crest is a Roman "corona radiata", referring to the Roman remains of the area. The purple lion's gambs, derived from the De Lacy arms, hold a gold circlet enclosing the county roses already mentioned.
The supporters are two harts royal, for the Forests of Pendle and Trawden. The supporters stand on a compartment of moorland with outcrops of millstone grit, depicting the local landscape. They are differenced by standing on besoms or brooms. These represent the legendary Witches of Pendle.
