Geographically, Bury is an attractive blend of town and country ranging from
Pennine moorland in the north to the suburbs of north Manchester in the
south. The common feature of the area is the River Irwell and there are
attractive villages throughout the Borough but especially in the north and
west.
The East Lancashire Railway which features steam and diesel preservation
runs along the Irwell Valley and since its opening a decade ago has brought
tourism on a large scale to the whole of the area. There is a wide range
of industry in each of the six towns with a particular concentration of
paper-making in Radcliffe and Ramsbottom. Other industries include heavy and
light engineering, woollen and worsted manufacture, chemicals, spinning,
textile finishing, luggage, carpet manufacture, rubber, plastics,
confectionery and greetings cards.
In addition there is a wide range of shopping and modern entertainment
including the Mill Gate Shopping Centre in Bury together with the famous
open and indoor markets. The Warner Village Cinema Complex at Pilsworth was
the first of its kind in the country.
There are excellent communications in the area with the M62 and M66
Motorways crisscrossing the area plus the Metrolink Light Rapid Transit
system with a fast and frequent service from Bury centre through Manchester
city centre to Altrincham. Manchester Airport is half an hour away by road.
