Sale is a town within the Metropolitan Borough of Trafford, in Greater Manchester, England.[1] Lying beside the River Mersey, it is located 6 miles (10 km) southwest of Manchester City Centre and has a population of around 52,000. It is neighboured by the towns of Altrincham and Stretford and is within the historic county boundaries of Cheshire.

Sale has a long history, dating back to at least the 12th century and probably before the time of the Norman invasion. The town was a small farming and weaving community, until it grew into a Manchester commuter town with the arrival of the Bridgewater Canal in 1765 and the railway in 1849.

The town's economy is now based around retail and property/business services, although there is still a sizeable number of commuters to other areas of Greater Manchester. In addition to the Bridgewater Canal, other attractions in the town include Sale Water Park and the recently built Waterside Arts Centre. The town has a strong sporting heritage, being the home of Sale Sharks rugby union club and Sale Harriers athletics club until their recent relocation.

Geography and administration

Geography

Sale is located at 53°25′29″N 2°19′19″W / 53.42472°N 2.32194°W / 53.42472; -2.32194Invalid arguments have been passed to the {{#coordinates:}} function (53.4246, -2.322), 6 miles (10 km) to the south-west of Manchester city centre. It is just north of the town of Altrincham and about 1 mile to the south of the town of Stretford. Sale lies in the Mersey Valley, less than 30 metres (98 ft) above sea level, with the River Mersey running just to the north of the town.[2] Sale Water Park, lying close the town's northern boundary, acts as an emergency flood basin to prevent the river from flooding the area during heavy rain.[3] The local geology consists of sand and gravel deposited during the last ice age, around 10,000 years ago. In common with much of Cheshire, the bedrock of Sale is composed of sandstone deposits in the form of Bunter beds.[4] The town is bisected by the Bridgewater Canal.

The climate of Sale — and Greater Manchester as a whole — is generally temperate, with few extremes of temperature or weather. The mean temperature is slightly above average for the United Kingdom; whereas annual rainfall and average amount of sunshine is slightly below the average for the UK.[5]

Civic history

File:Sale Borough Council arms.jpg
Arms of the former Sale Municipal Borough Council

Sale became a civil parish in 1866. In 1894, as a result of the Local Government Act 1894, the parish formed the Sale Urban District within the administrative county of Cheshire. It was expanded in 1930 by the addition of the former Ashton upon Mersey Urban District. In 1935 the expanded district became a municipal borough.[6] The municipal borough was abolished in 1974 as a result of the Local Government Act 1972. Sale then became a part of the newly created Metropolitan Borough of Trafford within Greater Manchester.[6] As part of the unitary authority of Trafford Sale has not had a town council since the creation of Trafford Metropolitan Borough, and administrative details are now handled by the Trafford Council.

Political divisions

From 1945 until 1997 Sale was represented by the Parliamentary constituency of Altrincham and Sale. Since 1997 Sale has been represented by the constituencies of Altrincham and Sale West and Wythenshawe and Sale East – today represented by Graham Brady MP and Paul Goggins MP respectively. The Altrincham and Sale West constituency is one of only a small number of seats in the northwest held by the Conservative Party, and the only one in Greater Manchester.

Sale is within the Trafford local government district. The Sale area consists of the five electoral wards of Ashton upon Mersey, Brooklands, Priory, Sale Moor and St. Mary's.[7] These wards have fifteen of the sixty-three seats on Trafford Council. As at the 2007 Local Elections, ten of those seats were held by the Conservative Party and five by the Labour Party.[8]

History

Evidence suggests that the area around Sale has been inhabited throughout Roman, Anglo-Saxon and even prehistoric times. A Neolithic arrow head, evidence of Saxon habitation and Roman coins have been found in the area;[9] also the town is on the route of a Roman road between Chester and Manchester, which has now been developed into part of the A56 road. The name Sale is thought to derive from the Anglo-Saxon Seale (dative of sealh) meaning "[at] the sallow tree"[10] — sallow being another name for a willow tree — lending further evidence to pre-Domesday habitation in Sale. Though not mentioned in the Domesday Book, the first documented reference to the "township" of Sale dates from the 12th century, which provides evidence that Sale was an Anglo-Saxon settlement. This suggests pre-Norman habitation by the Saxons as townships were a Saxon development.[2] Several roads in present-day Sale, such as Dane Road and Fairy Lane, are thought to be of Anglo-Saxon origin.[2]

After the Norman conquest, ownership of Sale was divided between Thomas de Sale and Adam de Carrington. Thomas de Sale’s lands were passed on to his son-in-law John Holt; whereas the lands of Adam de Carrington changed hands several times until they were under the administration of Richard de Massey by 1187 — a member of the Massey family who were Barons of Dunham.[6] The descendants of the Holts and the Masseys lorded over Sale until the 17th century (though the Dunham branch of the Masseys was extinct by the 14th century), when the land was purchased by various people such as Sir George Booth.[11]

Records show that St Martin's Church in Ashton upon Mersey dates back to at least 1304.[12] Ashton upon Mersey was a neighbouring town until it become part of Sale in the 1930s. Sale Old Hall, the place of administration for the town, dates back to at least 1577. This replaced a previous hall of the same name, which possibly dated back to the thirteenth century. The last building named ‘The Old Hall’ on the site was demolished in 1920; all that remains of it today is its lodge, now the home of Sale Golf Club, and its dovecote. Crossford Bridge, which now carries the northbound carriageway of the A56 road over the River Mersey, existed as early as 1538.[6]

The town was a farming community until the seventeenth century, when a garthweb weaving industry also developed. The garthweb, a material used in saddle girths, was woven from the flax and hemp grown in the town.[2] Sale began to grow with the arrival in 1765 of the Bridgewater Canal, financed by the Duke of Bridgewater to transport coal from his mines in Worsley. The canal transformed Sale into a dormitory town for middle-class merchants working in Manchester.[2]

Sale town hall — 1 January 2006

In 1804, 3000 volunteers from northwest England, raised by Sir John Moore to defend against invasion by Napoleon, were inspected on Sale Moor by Prince William of Gloucester.[6] The nearby Volunteer Hotel is reputed to be named after one of the enlistment points for troops during that time.

Sale Railway Station opened in 1849, as part of the Manchester South Junction and Altrincham Railway. A second station, named Brooklands after the 19th century Sale town-planner and landowner, Samuel Brooks, was opened in 1859. The station led to the area of the town to the east of the railway becoming known as Brooklands. The opening of the railway triggered a further boom in the population, which more than trebled by the end of the 19th century. The railway led to the use of the Bridgewater Canal falling away during the late nineteenth century. A third station opened at Dane Road in the 1930s.[6] The building of the nearby Trafford Park and Broadheath industrial complexes at the beginning of the 20th century further increased demand for housing in Sale.[13] In 1931, the Manchester-Altrincham steam line was electrified, making it one of the first electrified railway lines in Great Britain.[14] In 1992, the line was replaced by the current Metrolink tram/light rail service.

During the Second World War, in December 1940, many areas of Manchester, including parts of Sale, suffered from heavy bombing during what became known as the Manchester Blitz. One of the buildings severely damaged during that blitz was the newly built Sale Town Hall, which was not fully repaired until 1952.[15]

Eyebrow Cottage

Eyebrow Cottage is the oldest surviving building in Sale,[12] and was originally a yeoman farmhouse built around 1670. It is one of the earliest brick buildings in the area. The name of the building is derived from the decorative brickwork above the windows, which gives the building an anthropomorphic quality. The building stands next to the A56 in Cross Street, which at the time was a separate village from Sale.[4]


Sale Water Park

Sale Water Park is an artificial lake, created in a 35 metre deep gravel pit that was left as a result of excavations for the construction of the M60. Since its opening in 1980, the lake has been a venue for water sports and provided facilities for fishing and bird watching. The water park is also the site of the Broad Ees Dole wildlife refuge, a Local Nature Reserve that provides a home for migratory birds.[21]

Sale's All Saints Roman Catholic Church — 28 August 2005

Sale is a diverse community, with a synagogue and several Christian churches of varying denomination. The church buildings were generally constructed in the late 19th or early 20th century, since the majority were built in the wake of the population boom created by the arrival of the railway in 1849. As of the 2001 UK census, 77.9% of Sale residents reported themselves as being Christian, 1.4% Muslim, 0.7% Hindu, 0.6% Jewish, 0.2% Buddhist and 0.2% Sikh. 12.9% were recorded as having no religion, 0.2% had an alternative religion and 5.9% did not state their religion.

Notable residents

The English physicist, James Joule, was born and lived in Sale. His work led to the joule being adopted as the standard unit of energy. Joule’s house still stands at 12 Wardle Road and the nearby "J.P. Joule" pub is named after him. He is buried in Brooklands Cemetery and there is a bust of him in Worthington Park, Sale.[42]

Authors Robert Bolt[43] and Peter Tinniswood[44] both grew up and lived in Sale — in Bolt’s case living his entire life there. Bolt was a dramatist whose work included A Man for All Seasons as well as the screenplays for Lawrence of Arabia, Dr Zhivago and Ryan's Daughter. A commemorative plaque was placed on his home on 7 June 2000. Tinniswood was a scriptwriter for radio and TV comedies including I Didn't Know You Cared and That Was The Week That Was.

One of the more notable politicians to come from Sale was Baron Orme.[45] The left-wing politician was born in the town and was a Sale borough councillor in 1958. He was a supporter of the Movement for Colonial Freedom and the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament. He was a cabinet minister under Prime Minister James Callaghan and was awarded a life peerage in 1997.

On the musical front, the singer songwriter David Gray grew up in Sale until he moved to Wales at the age of nine.[46] Also, Ian Brown, the former lead singer of The Stone Roses, spent some of his childhood near Brooklands.[47] Radio presenter Marc Riley, the former host of the BBC Radio 1 Breakfast show, lived in Sale. Nicknamed 'Lard', he now has a slot on the BBC digital radio station 6 music.[48]

A number of sportsmen have lived in Sale, including Darren Campbell[49] and Diane Modahl,[50] both members of Sale Harriers. Campbell won a gold medal at the European Championships and silver and gold in the 2000 and 2006 Olympic Games respectively; Modahl won the 800 metres gold and bronze medals at the 1990 and 1996 Commonwealth Games respectively. Due to Sale’s relative proximity to Lancashire County Cricket Club it has also been home to some stars of the team, notably Cyril Washbrook, who retired to Sale. Washbrook, who was a Lancashire and England cricketing great, was also Lancashire's first ever professional captain. In 1947, he was named as one of Wisden's Cricketers of the Year, an honour given only once to a player.[51]
