Located in the foothills of the western Pennines in North West England, this market town was first mentioned as a parish in AD 962. Formerly in the county of Lancashire, it merged with the neighbouring boroughs of Radcliffe and Prestwich, together with the urban districts of Whitefield, Tottington and Ramsbottom to become the Metropolitan Borough of Bury in the early 1970s. This borough is part of Greater Manchester. For decades, the town was a sleepy backwater, but following the industrial revolution, the town greatly expanded in importance and there was a steady increase in population.
