On 1st of April 1974 Local Government Boundaries were extensively reorganised.

This was the begining of BURY Metropolitan Borough.



Though this is the official listing, in reality the district covers a whole host of ancient townships whose names should not be forgotten and are listed here for posterity (along with others in the area now under other Local Authorities, but which may be of interest)

SOME OF MY OTHER INTERESTS GENEALOGY my family churches/local history/maps TOP OF PAGE
The owner of this web page was born and bred (some ut se drug up bit scruf ut neck) in Radcliffe in 1948. Originally from Bank Top (Hagside), moving to Spring Lane at the start of school (Radcliffe Parish Church School, Bury Street), ending up on Bolton Road estate before moving to wedded bliss! on the Cams Lane estate in 1973. (A little bit of Radcliffe history in his own right!)
Some local historians have visited this site since July 1999
