Chorlton-cum-Hardy history
Toponymy
Chorlton probably means Ceolfrith’s farm or settlement from Old English personal name and tūn, an enclosure, farmstead or village . Hardy is derived from a personal name, Hearda, and ēg, Anglian for island or dry ground in a well-watered land . It has alternatively been suggested that Hardy may mean “by the woods”, in reference to the ancient forest of Arden Wood .
Early history
The district was part of the kingdom of Northumbria from the 7th century . Settlement in the Mersey valley may well have been later . Thomas L. Ellwood suggested 610 AD as the date of founding the settlement .
Suburban growth
Until the last quarter of the 19th century, Chorlton’s population had increased slowly . When the railway reached neighbouring Stretford in 1849, upmarket villas were built on a flood-free area in Edge Lane and High Lane . Wilbraham Road was built in 1869 to connect the Egerton holdings across Withington from Edge Lane to Fallowfield .
