Abstract: |
Booklet charting the transformation of Clayton in the 19th century from a rural landscape on the fringe of Manchester to a heavily industrialised area which specialised in manufacturing chemicals for the textile industry. Other industries in the area included textile production, mining and brick manufacture. By the end of the 20th century the area was blighted by derelict factories and toxic waste. Recently a series of targeted archaeological investigations have been undertaken in association with a scheme of land reclamation and regeneration. The booklet describes the history of the area alongside the results of the investigations, which looked at areas of workers' housing as well as industry. A final section explains the planning background to the work. |
