Urmston history
The name Urmston is likely to be derived from Orme’s Easton, or Ormestun, the “tun” or dwelling of Orme Fitz Seward. In the early 13th century, Lord Greenhalgh and his family lived at Highfield House (under what is now the M60 motorway) The town was home to the first District heating system in England. The opening of the Cheshire Lines Railway in 1873 allowed the town to grow as a commuter town.
