Failsworth info
Failsworth is a town in North
West England. It is generally seen as the town
linking Oldham to Manchester, yet it was countryside
until comparatively recent times and the boom
of the Industrial Revolution. Today it stands
in the borough of Oldham.
Little more than 300 years ago its population
was over just 1,000, today it is about 21,000.
Farming was the main industry of the area with
villagers supplementing their meagre incomes by
hand-loom weaving until the advent of cotton and
the Industrial Revolution.
People of the area still maintain a strong community
spirit and their pride in Failsworth is fierce.
A major landmark of the area is Failsworth Pole
on Oldham Road. The first 'political pole' was
erected in 1793 although a local historian suggests
there were others before and that Maypoles probably
stood on the site for centuries. The pole that
now stands on the site replaced the last one,
blown down in 1950.
Failsworth is famous for its hats. Manufacture
began as a cottage industry before the firm of
Failsworth Hats was set up in 1892 to manufacture
silk hats. For a time the company operated from
a factory near the former Failsworth Council offices
and remains in the area to this day. Today, Failsworth's
main areas of economic activities are in electrical
goods manufacture through Pifco Limited, and plastic
producers and distributors Hubron Limited.
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.
