6 PRESTWICH IN HISTORY

T appears almost certain that there have been habitations in Prestwich since the days of the Roman occupation of Britain I even though the recorded history of the town dates only from the thirteenth century. Prestwich is on the li ne of the Roman Road rrnm Manchester to , constructed in A.D. 79 and traces of two of the camps designed to protect this highway have been found within the borough boundary at Castle Hill by Singleton Brook and by Rainsough Hill. The place-name itself is of Anglo­ Saxon origin, and the nature of the tenure by which the family of Prestwich held their estates justifies the opinion that they were in residence in Saxon times. The first known lord of the manor was Robert de Prestwich, who died about J 206. A considerable portion of the great manorial estate remained intact until the eighteenth.

The origina l highways so mainta ined we re Rectory Lane, C hurch Lane, Bent Lane, Whittaker Lane a nd Wash Lane (now C lifton Road). Towards the end of the eighteenth century, clusters of handloom­ weavers' cottages made small new communities a long the narrow, muddy lanes which led to isolated fa rmsteads. They were the first signs of growth and change. Manchester was becoming the centre of a huge industry and, as the new century opened, it became clear that the great need was fo r better means of communication between the hea rt of the cotton trade and the spinning and weaving towns surrounding it. An Act was passed in 181 8 fo r the nwking of a new road between Manchester and Bury, but its actual construction was delayed until 1827. The Bury New Road, destined to become orie of the busiest ro 11 tes leading out of Manchester a nd Salford. literall y put Prestwich on the map.

W hen it was first constructed there were green fi elds on either side of it for much of its length, a nd grass grew betwee n the stones that paved the highway. Along the short Ma ry, John and Martha-who were buried Be Twixt the first and A.O. twelfth of December, 1641. " The Main Shopping Centre in Bury New Road The original rectory of Prestwich dated from the same period as the church. It stood in Rectory Lane, formerly known as Back Lane. Tt was a very beautiful half-timbered house, which. un­ rortunately was pulled down about one hundred a nd twenty years ago to make way for a somewhat severe brick mansion which in its turn was demolished and repl aced by the modern rectory w hich stands in C hurch Lane. Prestwich Parish Church was unusua l, if not unique, in tha t, uni ii we! I into the eighteenth century, it stood a lone on its c li ff­ lik · cmim:ncc and ha d no town or c lustering round it.

10 Prestwich stretch between Church Lane and Poppythorn Lane modern Prestwich developed. There were a lready a few cottages and the National School, which was erected in J 8 16, and as time went on development spread north and south. The National School was rebuilt in 1866, and with its clock tower.it was, and .s till is, a landmark in the district. It was both a school and a social centre, and several generations of Prestwich people have had happy memories of their school days and of parties arid concerts enjoyed there. The main effect of the Industrial Revolution upon the district was its selection as a place of residence by thousands of business people working in neighbouring centres. A hundred years ago, these new residents were mostly wealthy business-men who drove into Manchester in their own carriages ; but when, in 1879, the & Yorkshire Railway Company opened a branch line from Manchester to R adcli ffe, with stations at Prestwich and , many workers in warehouses and offices came to Jive here a nd travelled daily to town by rail. The building of residential property proceeded rapidly, and in the latter half of the nineteenth century the population more than doubled.

F rom the hi gh groun d on the western edge of the district (384 feet a bove sea level) there are fi ne views of the great urban area to the south, the Trwe ll val ley to the west and the curving fla nk of the Pennines to the north. D uring the last hu ndred years the popul ati on of P restwich has .increased from four thousand to thirty-four thousand. In the course of this rapid growth much beauty has been swept away, but suffic ient rema ins to give many parts of the di strict the charm of green oases in the grey mass of industrial south-east Lancashire­ o ne of the most thickly populated areas in the worl d. Some 2,420 acres in extent, the Borough embraces five distinct res ide ntia l districts, st il l po pularly known as '·villages" : Prestwich, Heaton Park, Seclgley Parle, Rainsoug h and . The loca l industries are texti le weavi ng, bleaching, dyeing, printing and fin ishing and the manufacture of soap.
