Irlam & Cadishead in the Past VG
Published by Irlam & Cadishead Local Historical Society, Irlam & Cadishead, England, 1986
Paperbound. Demy table [30cm/12inches], landscape paperbound with pictorial covers, pp. 49. Illustrated with b-w halftones throughout. Please feel free to inquire as to particulars and/or additional photographs. . Irlam was anciently known as Irwellham, an outlying area of Chat Moss, a large peat bog which straddled the River Irwell. Work was carried out in the 19th century to reclaim large areas to enable the completion of the Liverpool and Manchester Railway in 1829. In 1894, the Irwell was adjusted so that its waters were united with the Manchester Ship Canal, stimulating the growth of Irlam as an inland port. . Until the early 19th century most of the area was part of the peat bog known as Chat Moss, but by 1805 work had started to reclaim the land. The opening of the Manchester Ship Canal in 1894 had a major effect on the subsequent development of Cadishead. . Cadishead and Lower Irlam is an electoral ward of Salford, England created by the Local Government Boundary Commission for England (LGBCE) replacing the previous electoral wards of Cadishead and Irlam for the 2021 local elections. In exceptionally good condition.
