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.[citation needed] 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]
Steve Rothery, guitarist of the band Marillion, was born in Brampton.[citation needed] Footballers George Robledo and Ted Robledo, both of whom played football for Newcastle United, grew up in the village: they were born in Chile but moved to Brampton (their mother's home) as children because of war.[which?] George represented Chile at the 1950 FIFA World Cup.[citation needed]
