History
The probate evidence of the 17th century and the remains of an 18th century weavers cottage in Elton, on the western side of Bury, indicates that domestic textile production is an important factor of the local economy at a time when the Bury textile industry is dominated by woollens and based on the production of yarns and fabrics domestic and water treatment plant. Rapid development in the late 18th and early 19th century. The establishment of the Brooksbottom Mill, in the northern Summerseat town, as a Kalico printing work in 1773 by Sir Robert Peel's family marked the start of the cotton industry in Bury. In the early 19th century cotton was the dominant textile industry with the Roch River and Irwell River that provided power for spinning and water treatment plants for finishing trade. Development was further promoted when the city was linked to the national canal network by Manchester Bolton & The Bury Canal, which was fully opened in 1808. The canal is equipped with water from the Elton Dam, which is flooded by a drainage channel on the Irwell River, north of Orchid Park. The burrs are also the site of another factory developed by the Peel family, which was first established in 1790. The remains are publicly displayed. There were seven cotton factories in Bury in 1818 and the population grew from 9,152 in 1801 to 58,029 in 1901.
After this, the train opened, connecting the city from Bury Bolton Street train station to Manchester, Radcliffe, Rawtenstall and Accrington and from the old Knowsley Street train station to the neighboring mills of Bolton, Heywood and Rochdale. As well as many other growing industrial cotton factories including papermaking, heat printing and some lightweight techniques. The city expanded to incorporate the former towns of Elton, Walmersley and Heap and a row of multi-storey houses that surrounded the city center at the turn of the 19th century. Districts such as Freetown, Fishpool and Pimhole were transformed from farmers' fields into rows of terraced houses, alongside factories and factories.
Pilot Mill is one of the classic spinning mill of the 19th century that characterizes the other cities of Lancashire.
The industry culminated in 1912 when it produced 8 billion yards of fabric. The Great War of 1914-18 halted the supply of raw cotton, and the British government encouraged its colonies to build factories for spinning and weaving cotton. The war ended, Lancashire never returned to the market. The independent factory is struggling. The Bank of England founded Lancashire Cotton Corporation in 1929 to try to rationalize and save the industry. Pilot Mill, Bury was one of 104 factories purchased by LCC, and one of 53 factories that survived until 1950. After cotton, he lost a smokestack and decorative top to the water tower.
