About Bury - show infohide info

Bury is a town in Greater Manchester in the north west of England, located between Rochdale and Bolton, at the foothills of the Western Pennines. The town name of Bury, previously known as Buri and Byri, comes from a Saxon word said to mean “a stronghold�. A market town, Bury was first mentioned as a parish in AD 962. Originally in the county of Lancashire, Bury merged with neighbouring areas of Radcliffe, Prestwich, Whitefield, Tottington and Ramsbottom to form the Metropolitan Borough of Bury in the early 1970s. With the industrial revolution, Bury grew in importance and concurrently its population expanded in size. This was particularly apparent following the town’s linkage to the national canal network by the Manchester, Bolton and Bury canal in the early 19th century. Then Bury’s railways opened, which linked the town’s Bolton Street station with Manchester, Radcliffe, Rawtenstall and Accrington. The 18th century saw a revolution in the textile industry. John Kay, born at Walmersley in Bury, developed the "Flying Shuttle". This development sped up the process of weaving and mechanised the industry. This led to the founding of numerous cotton mills, paper making factories, calico printing and light engineering establishments in Bury. In the post-war period, the cotton industry fell into decline in both Bury, neighbouring areas and generally nationwide. Bury’s old shopping area that had built up around Princess Street and Union Street was knocked down in the late 1960s, and was consequently replaced by a concrete precinct. This quickly outdated development was itself replaced by the more modern Millgate centre in the late 1990s. Bury remains famous for its traditional Lancashire market where you can buy its nationally renowned Bury Black Pudding. Until recently, tripe could also be purchased regularly. The town’s importance has become entwined with Manchester, as Bury is currently becoming a significant commuter town for the city.
