Pendlebury history
Early history
Pendlebury is formed from the Celtic pen meaning hill and burh a settlement. The township was variously recorded as Penelbiri, Pennilbure, Pennebire and Pennesbyry in the 13th century. In 1199 King John confirmed a gift of a carucate of land called Peneberi to Ellis son of Robert.
Agecroft Hall
Agecroft Hall, the Tudor home of the Lord of the Manor of Pendlebury, stood on rising ground on the west side of the River Irwell. The structure was dismantled, crated, shipped across the Atlantic, and painstakingly reassembled in Windsor Farms, Richmond, Virginia, USA.
Industrial development
Pendlebury saw extensive coal extraction until the closure of Agecroft Colliery in the 1990s. Wheatsheaf Colliery was on Bolton Road between Carrington Street and City Walk. Agecroft stood on the site of Lumn’s Colliery which had an unusual arrangement of winding gear concealed in three huge towers.
