Bury

Bury is a town within the metropolitan county of Greater Manchester, and located in the North West of England. Historically a part of the county of Lancashire until 1974, the town houses a population of over 60,000 people, and has grown to become one of the larger towns in the North West of England. Earning a reputation for being a highly industrial town during the Industrial Revolution, the town became established as a leading mill town during the 18th, 19th and early 20th centuries - being the town in which several pieces of industrial equipment were invented, and a substantial amount of Britain's cotton being processed there. Now a leading commercial town, it has been the birth town of several famous people - including the Tory Prime Minister Robert Peel, and the barrister Cherie Blair.
