Aldhere's
Village: "Aldhere" is a Saxon man's name and "Ham"

Originated
as a quiet market town until the early 19th century when Manchester

Revolution when the town became involved in cotton weaving. However,
since the decline of the cotton industry the town has become predominantly
residential, with many people commuting into Manchester to work.
