  • The Tudor Water Mill. ​By Peter James Corbally in 1543 Sir Robert
    The Tudor Water Mill. by Peter James Corbally ​ In 1543 Sir Robert Langley of Agecroft Hall, Lord of the Manor of Prestwich, built a weir across the River Irwell to provide water for a water mill. The weir was to raise the level of the river and pen back water that could be used to work the wheel at the mill. The weir was 20 yards long and 28 inches high above the river level raising the river level by an extra 24 inches. Presumably there was a mill race which led a forceful stream of water to the wheel. The mill and weir cost 300 marks to build and provided a profit of 40 marks per annum. It operated smoothly for four or so years. th Then on 20 ​ June 1548, Thomas Holland, Lord of the Manor of Clifton came with six ​ other men and broke down the end of the weir on the western bank. The water flowed out through the broken weir and the mill ceased operation. Truth to tell the western end of the weir rested on Thomas Holland’s land on the Clifton bank. Sir Robert Langley needed the co-operation of Thomas Holland in order to build the weir. The river must have been surveyed and the best spot for the weir must have rested on the Prestwich bank on the east and the Clifton bank on the west of the river. The two men, Sir Robert Langley and Thomas Holland, made a gentleman’s agreement about the weir five years earlier and Sir Robert, trusting Thomas Holland’s word, had gone ahead and built the project.

AGMA consists of all ten Greater Manchester local authorities. The Waste Plan will form part of each Authority's statutory development plan and runs from 2012 to 2027. 2 The Waste Plan was produced by Greater Manchester Geological Unit (GMGU) on behalf of each Authority. A Joint Committee was established to act as an Executive, with responsibility for approval of the Waste Plan and accompanying documents up to publication and adoption, at which point the Waste Plan was agreed by each Authority's Full Council. Consultation Process 3 Plan preparation included a comprehensive consultation process based on a dedicated web site. The waste industry, landowners and interest groups as well as the general public and local councillors were involved from the start of plan preparation. The main consultation stages involved holding stakeholder workshops. During the preparation of the Plan a total of 6 formal ‘calls for sites’ were made to encourage contributions from the waste industry and landowners. Feedback from consultees has played a key role in shaping the Waste Plan.
