Civic history

Denton was originally one of the townships of the ancient parish of Manchester in the Salford Hundred of Lancashire. In 1866 it became a civil parish in its own right.^[2] The parish was expanded in 1894 by the inclusion of the Haughton township, the former area of which now covers the eastern part of the town.^[3] The name of Haughton survives as local place names at Haughton Green and Haughton Dale, both in south Denton. Clues to the former township do still exist at Haughton Street, Haughton Hall Road, the Parish Church of St. Anne, Haughton, and etched onto an ancient boundary marker on Broomstair Bridge on the A57 Hyde Road - (CHESHIRE Township of Hyde | Township of Haughton LANCASHIRE). Also in 1894 the enlarged parish became the Urban District of Denton in the administrative county of Lancashire. In 1974 the urban district was abolished and its assets and area were transferred to form part of the new Metropolitan Borough of Tameside.^[4] The term township generally means the district or area associated with a town. ...

History

Middle Ages

Denton gets its name from being called a valley settlement, with Den meaning valley, and Ton meaning settlement.^{[citation needed]} In the early 13th century it lay within the Manor of Withington, a feudal estate which also encompassed the townships of Withington, Didsbury, Chorlton-cum-Hardy, Moss Side, Rusholme, Burnage and Haughton, ruled by the Hathersage, Longford, Mosley and Tatton families.^[5].

Hat industry

Hat manufacturing made Denton and Haughton (now part of Denton) famous. During the 18th century, farmers began to supplement their income by making felt hats, for there was a plentiful supply of rabbits in the areas. Gradually, this cottage industry developed into hat factories that were established in various parts of the town with the heaviest concentration being in the vicinity of Wilton Street. This article or section does not cite its references or sources. ... Haughton lies in close proximity with Denton in South Lancashire within the Parish and Diocese of Manchester. ... Events and trends The Bonneville Slide blocks the Columbia River near the site of present-day Cascade Locks, Oregon with a land bridge 200 feet (60 m) high. ...

Throughout the 19th century and well into the 20th century, a wide range of hats was manufactured to suit all tastes and purses. The names used by the competing manufacturers to describe their products was bewildering and some of these were; felt hats, silk hats, fur hats, wear fur hats, soft hats, stiff hats, velour hats, wool hats, straw hats and, of course, the ubiquitous cloth cap. In the 1930s the ‘Attaboy’ trilby hat was introduced. This brand quickly became famous and it was in production for many years. Ladies’ hats were not forgotten either and at least one works specialised in making these and the hat master’s wife designed them at home. Hats were made for home consumption and for export. A flat cap, also variously called a cloth cap, golf cap, driving cap, windsor cap, and others, is a round, soft mens cap with a small brim in front and a somewhat stiff peak in the back. ... A trilby or trilby hat is a soft felt mens hat with a narrow brim and a deeply indented crown. ...

The well-known saying, “If you want to get ahead, get a hat” arose in Denton and, needless to say, anyone attending for a job interview not wearing a hat was quickly shown the door. Similarly, until the early 20th century, anyone entering a Denton shop without a hat would receive much cursing. The term, “mad as a hatter” also arose in Denton because the mercury was used in the felting process led to mercury poisoning. Mercury poisoning, also known as mercuralism, is the phenomenon of toxication by contact with mercury. ...

In 2003, the prominent Wilson's Hat Factory on Wilton Street, together with the adjacent mill-workers' houses, other factories, Wilton Street Chapel and Mainstream Studios was demolished to make way for a new retail shopping park 'Crown Point North', part of a major town centre regeneration scheme. The shopping park has attracted the country's first Tesco Homeplus store, together with other major names, such as Bhs, [[Burton (clothes retailer)|Burton's], River Island, TK Maxx, H&M, Boots, Jessop's, Clark's, Mothercare, Virgin Megastore and a seldom seen Tesco HomePlus.

Other industries

After hatting, the most important industry in Denton was the manufacture of lead-acid batteries by Oldham Batteries (Oldham & Son Ltd). In 1865, Joseph Oldham established a millwright general engineering shop and by 1887 this company was manufacturing machinery for the hat-making industry. Another important industry in the area was coal mining and shortly after 1887 the company began making machinery and equipment for this industry, which included miners’ portable lamps. Up to this time, miners had always used the safety lamp devised in 1815 by Sir Humphry Davy (1778 – 1829) but this new battery-powered Davy Lamp lamp eventually replaced the traditional safety lamp.

In 1920, the manufacture of automotive batteries for commercial vehicles, cars and motorcycles commenced and over the years this business expanded into the manufacture of traction batteries, which also included submarine batteries. Year 1920 (MCMXX) was a leap year starting on Thursday. ...

Nonetheless, the company never converted exclusively to the manufacture of batteries and they still continued to make machinery for the hatting industry, general engineering equipment, portable lamps and lighting systems as well as lamps and related equipment for mining. It also produced attachments for the mechanical handling industry.

Oldham Batteries became a major Denton employer with over 1,000 employees, but by the beginning of 2002 the decision to close the factory had been made. The factory, which used to be off Lime Grove, Denton, is no longer there. It has been demolished, and a planning application for a further town centre retail park has been submitted to Tameside Council. Tameside is a metropolitan borough of Greater Manchester in north west England. ...

Twin town

On December 5, 1992, Denton became a twin-town to Montigny le Bretonneux, near Paris, France. On one side of the town hall, there is a 'French road sign' which states how far it is to Montigny le Bretonneux from Denton. However this points north, implying that Denton's French twin-town is located in the sea somewhere to the west of Orkney. Tameside MBC have known about this mistake for more than 10 years, albeit Market Street, the side of the town hall where the sign is located, is a 'one way street' and so technically the sign points in the correct direction for vehicles (for about 20 yards).

Local transport

One of Denton's claims to fame is that, along with Reddish South, it has the UK's least frequent train service, at once per week, in one direction, from Stockport to Stalybridge. It runs on a Saturday only, and departs from Stockport at 11:28 by request only for Stalybridge, arriving at Denton railway station at 11:37.
