Ardwick history

Ardwick was a small village just outside Manchester in open countryside. The principal residents were the Birch family, one of whom was a major general when Oliver Cromwell (briefly) instituted direct military rule. One Samuel Birch was instrumental in providing a small chapel of ease, dedicated to St. Thomas, and consecrated in 1741. This soon expanded into a Georgian church, to which a brick campanile tower was added in 1836.

Industrial Revolution

Ardwick railway station is at a junction where the Manchester and Birmingham Railway diverged from the line to Sheffield that became the Great Central Railway . The railway bridge across Hyde Road was known by older residents as the “Fenian Arch” on 18 September 1867 .
