Dukinfield history
Early history
Dukinfield means “Raven of the Field” and derives from the Old English duce and feld. The town was held by Matthew de Bramhall in about 1190 and after that by a family who took the name “De Dokenfeld” The town is thought to have been a Roman settlement until the Roman period. A bronze Roman coin from the reign of Emperor Tetricus I was discovered in the town.
Industrial Revolution
Two cotton mills were built before 1794 and by 1825 there were seven. The industry continued to expand and by the end of the 19th century 14 spinning mills were in operation. Francis Dukinfield Astley developed two collieries in the town and both had explosions killing many workers.
