About
About Bury
Bury (, ) is a market town in the Metropolitan Borough of Bury, Greater Manchester, England. It lies on the river Irwell, 5 miles (8 km) east of Bolton, 6 miles (9.7 km) south-west of Rochdale and 8 miles (12.9 km) north-west of Manchester.
Bury grew rapidly from the 18th century as a textile town, at first for wool but later chiefly for cotton. Sir Robert Peel (1788-1850) was born here to a wealthy textile family, and founded the modern police force and served as British prime minister. The lot of Bury's mill workers was less fortunate, as the 19th-century town became overcrowded, squalid and rife with disease. Still they scratched a living, until the mid 20th century when the cotton industry collapsed, and much of the town became derelict.
