The general consensus of opinion is that they originated in the West Midlands or Black Country.  The Black Country is named after it's roots in the industrial revolution and continuing role as a center of heavy engineering and mining which in days gone by was said to cover the area in grime and soot.

Pork Scratchings was a food of the working classes with origins back to the 1800's where families kept their own pigs at home, feeding them up for slaughter. With food scarce no part of the pig was wasted and either by design or by trial & error the famous Pork Scratching(Pork Rind) was discovered.
