A short history of Droylsden
Droylsden was settled around AD 900. A Moravian Church has stood in the Fairfield area since 1785. In the 1840s Henry Christy brought a looped towel back from Turkey. In 1851 the family firm W. M. Christy and Sons produced the first machine woven terry towel at Fairfield Mills after copying it on an adapted loom. Queen Victoria placed regular orders for the firm's Royal Turkish towels. By the mid-19th century Droylsden had grown into a mill town on the Ashton canal. From the early 1930s its population rose rapidly as it took on housing overflow from Manchester. Fairfield Mills closed at the end of the 1980s. A marina was built between 2007 and 2012.
