Denton
info
Denton is a town in the conurbation
of Greater Manchester,
United Kingdom. It 1991 it had a population of
35,820. It is part of the Borough of Tameside.
Hat manufacturing made Denton and Haughton (now
part of Denton) famous. During the 18th century,
farmers began to supplement their income by making
felt hats, for there was a plentiful supply of
rabbits in the areas. Gradually, this cottage
industry developed into hat factories that were
established in various parts of the town with
the heaviest concentration being in the vicinity
of Wilton Street.
Throughout the 19th century and well into the
20th century, a wide range of hats was manufactured
to suit all tastes and purses. The names used
by the competing manufacturers to describe their
products was bewildering and some of these were;
felt hats, silk hats, fur hats, wear fur hats,
soft hats, stiff hats, velour hats, wool hats,
straw hats and, of course, the ubiquitous cloth
cap. In the 1930s the ‘Attaboy’ trilby
hat was introduced. This brand quickly became
famous and it was in production for many years.
Ladies’ hats were not forgotten either and
at least one works specialised in making these
and the hat master’s wife designed them
at home. Hats were made for home consumption and
for export.
The well-known saying, “if you want to
get ahead, then get a hat” arose in Denton
and, needless to say, anyone attending for a job
interview not wearing a hat was quickly shown
the door. The term, “mad as a hatter”
also arose in Denton because mercury was used
in the felting process and this is a poisonous
heavy metal.
About Manchester
Manchester
is a city in the north-west of
England. The metropolitan borough of Manchester,
with a population of 422,302, lies at the heart
of a large conurbation called Greater
Manchester, with a population of 2,513,468.
Greater Manchester is also a
metropolitan county in England
established in 1974 which covers an area roughly
encompassing the conurbation of Manchester. It
is situated in North West England. It has borders
with the ceremonial counties of Cheshire (inc.
Warrington), Derbyshire, West Yorkshire, Lancashire
(inc. Blackburn with Darwen) and Merseyside. As
well as Manchester, the county includes major
centres such as Salford,
Bury, Bolton,
Stockport and Wigan.
Greater Manchester is not entirely built-up. Although
Manchester forms a conurbation along with Salford,
Trafford and Stockport,
other boroughs, such as Wigan
and Bury are clearly separate.
Towns in the
Manchester urban area include Salford,
Sale, Altrincham,
Cheadle, Stockport,
Ashton-under-Lyne,
and Oldham, Bury,
Rochdale, Stockport
and Stretford. Places
like Trafford and
Salford can be considered
part of the Manchester urban area in a way that
Wigan or Bolton
are not.
The term "Manchester" is often used
to refer to the entire conurbation, much as "London"
is usually used to mean Greater London, but many
of the constituent parts of Greater Manchester,
such as Salford, Wigan and Bolton, also have separate
identities. People from Manchester are called
Mancunians.
