Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Bridge at Irwell Vale in Spring Looking northwest in Irwell Vale this is where two rivers - the Ogden and the Irwell - meet below this bridge on the right.
1020743 Irwell Vale owes its existence to John Bowker, a Manchester merchant. Bowker built a woollen mill on the east side of the Irwell in about 1800 and some thirty-two years later added a cotton mill on the opposite bank. In 1833 two rows of workers cottages were completed 122939 and the new village had been born. For many years the mill was leased to the Aitken family and eventually they bought the entire village. The street names, Aitken Street and Bowker Street, recall them and the original owner. Today Irwell Vale is a quiet village with a halt on the East Lancashire Railway see http://www.east-lancs-rly.co.uk/index2.php |
