This collection of over 200 archive photographs with supporting captions traces the history of Royton as the town grew during and after the Industrial Revolution. A rural community dating back to at least the thirteenth century, Royton developed with the textile industry as mills and chimneys sprang up in the area during the Victorian era and transport links were created with the bustling city of Manchester. A skyline once dominated by heavy industry slowly changed with the demands of the twentieth century, and a variety of businesses and retail ventures arrived as the town diversified and grew again. This book explores the history of Royton, describing the people, pastimes, work and play of this busy community. These images will awaken nostalgic memories in people who have lived or worked in Royton, as well as providing a valuable resource for anybody interested in the history of the area.
