Walkden is a suburban town in the City of Salford, Greater Manchester, England, 6 miles (9.7 km) northwest of Salford, and 7 miles (11.3 km) of Manchester. Little Hulton.
Historically in the township of Worsley in Lancashire,[3] Walkden was a centre for coal mining and textile manufacture.
A profile of the electoral wards Walkden North, Walkden South and Little Hulton conducted by Salford City Council in 2014 recorded a combined population of 35,616.The name Walkden or Walkeden derives from the Old English denu, a valley, belonging to a man possibly called Wealca (fuller), an Old English personal name. It has been in existence since at least the 13th century.[4] The name was recorded in documents dating to 1246.[5] In the local dialect and accent, it is pronounced Wogden.
A Roman road crossed the area roughly on the line of the present A6 road through Walkden and Little Hulton.[6] In 1313 in a dispute involving land, a jury decided that Walkden was too small to be considered a hamlet or a town but was only a place in Farnworth.[7] In the 15th century Walkden appears to have covered a wider area than at present, spreading into Farnworth and Little Hulton.[8] In 1765 'Walkden Moor' was the subject of a parliamentary Enclosure Act.[9] The Duke of Bridgewater was the biggest landowner in 1786, owning over half the land. At one time Walkden was the centre for coaling mines and textile manufacturing.Walkden's industrial history links are mainly to coal mining, but also to cotton mills. There were many shafts for small collieries sunk to the shallow coal seams of the Worsley Four Foot mine on land owned by the Egertons, the Lords of the Manor of Worsley which included Walkden. Named shafts were, Speakman's, Edge Fold, Lloyd's and Hey's Field before 1770, Turnpike Lime, Barlow Fold, Scowcroft's, and Crippin's Croft before 1780, Pin Fold, Parr Fold and Tub Engine before 1790 and Grundy's Field, Stone, Windmill, Charlton's, and the Inclined Plane Pit all before 1800. The Worsley Navigable Levels linked many of the mines to the Bridgewater Canal at Worsley.[10] The levels were used to transport coal from the mines of the Bridgewater Collieries in Walkden until railways were used as an improved form of transportation.[11] After 1800 Urmston's Meadow, Moss Hill Top, Parkinson's and Sawney, Atkin's Croft, Barrack's, Magnall's, Ashton's Field and the Ellesmere were sunk but were independent of the levels.[10] Walkden Yard or NCB Central Workshops was situated south of High Street, close to Ellesmere Colliery was partly in Little Hulton. It was built 1878 by the Bridgewater Trustees as a central works depot providing engineering services for their collieries and colliery railways. On the site there was a Machine and Fitting workshop, Pump Shop, Joiners Shop, Electricians shop, Paint Shop, Blacksmith and Tinsmith Shop, Welders Shop, Locomotive Overhaul and Repair Shop, Waggon sheds and Waggon machine shop and a Conveyor Belt Repair Shop. The yard closed as a British Coal workshop in 1986 and is now a housing estate. Little Hulton
