About Fencing in Ashton-under-Lyne
Ashton under Lyne in Greater Manchester was first recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086 as Ascectun, meaning settlement near ash trees, and it received a royal charter to hold a market in 1413, establishing its early status as a market town. For centuries the town relied on domestic weaving of fustian and wool, and before the cotton trade arrived in 1769 it was described as bare, wet and almost worthless, but the introduction of cotton and the factory system transformed Ashton from a market town into a mill town during the Industrial Revolution. Between 1773 and 1905, 75 cotton mills were established there, and the population rocketed from around 8,000 in 1800 to 36,000 by 1851, growth helped along by the Ashton Canal, built in 1792 to connect the town to Manchester and the wider canal network. Ashton under Lyne became one of the most famous mill towns in the North West as a result of this rapid transformation.
