Flixton, Greater Manchester history
Early history
Medieval Flixton was one of several parishes which existed in the Hundred of Salford. The area may have been inhabited during the Neolithic and Bronze Ages. Stone axes have been found on the banks of the River Mersey and on the River Irwell. The parish comprised isolated farmsteads and a medieval manor house, rather than a village centre.
Industrial Revolution
Flixton played an important part in the early campaigns for public rights of way. It was a remote rural area with few transport links to nearby towns, the rivers Irwell and Mersey for the most part cutting off access to other areas. The area did not experience the level of industrialisation seen in towns like Ashton-under-Lyne.
