Ordsall, Greater Manchester history


Ordsall first appears in records in 1177 when Ordeshala paid two marks towards an aid, a feudal due or tax. Samuel Hibbert-Ware gave a different etymology for the name; ord is a Saxon word for “primeval” or “very old”

Woden’s Den

Before the River Irwell was deepened to make it navigable there was an ancient paved ford at Ordsall known as Woden’s Ford. The cave was described and sketched by Thomas Barret in about 1780. He postulated that travellers would have made offerings to Odin, the protector of travellers, before attempting crossing.
