Ellenbrook, Greater Manchester history
Etymology
Ellenbrook is situated by the Ellen Brook which becomes the Stirrup Brook in Boothstown. The origin of the first element of the name is unknown, but the second element is certainly from Old English broc, a brook or stream.
Church
Ellenbrook was a chapelry in the parish of Eccles. The exact origins of the chapelry are uncertain. The old chapel was demolished and St. Mary’s Church was rebuilt in brick in 1725. The church is built in the Norman style and is a Grade II Listed building.
Industrial Revolution
The Duke of Bridgewater owned small shallow collieries at Crookes Meadow, Grundy Common and Clays before 1770. In the 1830s a horse-drawn tramway connected Bridgewater Collieries’ pits north of Ellenbrook at New Manchester with the Bridgewater Canal. In 1861 the London and North Western Railway revived powers to build a railway from Eccles to Wigan through Ellenbrook.
