BURRS

created 31 August 2003

Burrs is one of Bury’s earliest industrial sites, notable for its exploitation of water and its association with the Peel family. Although many of the buildings which once made up the two mill communities at Burrs and Higher Woodhill have now gone, enough remains to give an interesting insight into manufacturing technology and life in the early 19th Century.
