Everything about Bromley Cross totally explained
Bromley Cross is a suburb of the
unparished area of
South Turton in the
Metropolitan Borough of Bolton,
Greater Manchester,
England.
Historically part of
Lancashire, it lies on the southern edge of the
West Pennine Moors.
Bromley Cross railway station is on the
Ribble Valley Line.
Bromley Cross got its name from an ancient cross, which has long since gone, and was originally called Kershaw's Cross after a tenant farmer. Kershaw lived in the neighbourhood at one time and his landlords were a family called Bromley (or Bromiley), who owned much land in
Harwood and
Bradshaw. From this family the cross was renamed Bromley Cross.
Bromley Cross is today a distinct area in its own right, but in the 19th century it was part of the township of
Bradshaw which in 1898 became part of
Turton Urban District.
The present village of Bromley Cross grew up in the 19th Century in association with many factories and bleachworks, which used water power obtained from the
Eagley Brook and its tributaries.
At the northern area of Bromley Cross is the popular "Last Drop Village", which isn't a real village but a collection of old farmhouses and farmbuildings which were restored in the 1960s into a pub, restaurant, bistro, various craft shops, a hotel and conference centre.
