Reddish history
Toponymy
Reddish is recorded as Redich (1205, 1212), Redych, Radich, Radish, Rediche (1262), Redditch (1381), Redwyche, Radishe and Reddishe (16th century) Folklore has it that the names Gorton and Reddish arose from a battle between Saxons and Danes.
1066 to late 18th century
Reddish does not appear in the Domesday survey; this is in common with most of the then southeast Lancashire area. A corn mill is known to have existed at the junction of Denton Brook and the River Tame from about 1400 onwards. The two main mediaeval houses were Reddish Hall and Hulme Hall at grid reference SJ899932 (demolished 1780, but visible on maps dated 1840)
Industrial Revolution
In 1857 Reddish was almost entirely agricultural, being made of meadow and pasture (1,320 acres (5.3 km) and arable land (90 acres (360,000 m)) At that time, Reddish contained “neither post-office, schoolmaster, lawyer, doctor, nor pawnshop” The population increased tenfold in the next fifty years with the Industrial Revolution.
Brewing, pubs and clubs
Reddish has been home to at least three breweries. Richard Clarke & Co brewed in the area for over 100 years, before being taken over, and later closed, by Boddingtons in 1962. David Pollard’s eponymous brewery opened in the former print works in Reddish Vale in 1975, moving out to Bredbury in 1978.
