Open Homes workspaceAbout Bury
Bury is a Greater Manchester town famous for its open-air market and the traditional delicacy of Bury black pudding. A cotton and woollen town in the industrial era, it was the birthplace of Sir Robert Peel, founder of the modern police force and a British prime minister. The preserved East Lancashire Railway runs steam trains from the town, and the Metrolink tram line ends here. Affordable housing and good transport keep Bury's rental market steady.
