Freehold, Greater Manchester history
In the early 1860s, John Platt (MP), the son of Henry Platt who founded Platt Brothers textile machinery manufacturers in 1770, purchased the land now known as Freehold from the Lees family, incumbents of the manorial Werneth Hall. Platt Bros were for a time the largest manufacturers of machinery for the cotton industry in the world, employing some 15,000 people. A footpath linking Manchester Road with the ancient road of Block Lane was built up to become Oxford Street. The opening of Oxford Street led to the construction of numerous side streets linking to Manchester Road and Block Lane.
