Butler Green history


Butler Green History photo

Butler Green and its continuation, Washbrook, form part of the network of ancient roads that linked the hamlets and villages of Chadderton to the manor houses at Foxdenton. The Washbrook area became a centre of early industrial activity in the late 18th century with the construction in 1792 of the Werneth Branch Canal. The canal fell into disuse in 1875 after the local collieries were no longer producing coal. In 1876 the northern section of the canal was destroyed for the construction of an embankment for the Oldham Loop Line railway.
