History

Further information: History of Manchester

Didsbury derives its name from the Anglo-Saxon Dyddi's burg, probably referring to a man known as Dyddi whose stronghold or township it was. The history of Manchester is one of change from a minor Lancastrian township into the pre-eminent industrial Metropolis of the United Kingdom [2] In the 13th century, Didsbury was variously named as Dydesbyre, Dydesbiri, Didsbury, or Dodesbury. [5]

The earliest reference to Didsbury is in a document dating from 1235, recording a grant of land for the building of a chapel. [6] The church was originally called St Oswald, but was renamed as St James in 1855. It underwent major refurbishment in 1620 and in the 19th century, although most of the stonework visible today dates from the 17th century. [7] The area around St James Church has the highest concentration of listed buildings in Manchester, outside the city centre. A listed building in the United Kingdom is a building or other structure officially designated as being of special architectural historical or cultural significance [8] The two public houses that flanked the nearby village green, The Didsbury Inn and The Olde Cock Inn, were described in the late 1880s by local Alderman Fletcher Moss as the "gates of Hell", because of the temptation they offered to drop in for drink rather than go to the church. [9] A charter granted in about 1260 shows that a corn-grinding mill was operating in Didsbury, along the River Mersey. [5]

Didsbury was one of the few places between Stretford and Stockport where the River Mersey could be forded, which made it significant for troop movements during the English Civil War, in which Manchester was on the Parliamentarian side. A ford is a place in a Watercourse (most commonly a stream or River) that is shallow enough to be crossed by wading on Horseback or in a wheeled The English Civil War (1642-1651 was a series of armed conflicts and political machinations between Parliamentarians and Royalists. " Roundheads " was the Nickname given to the Puritan supporters of Parliament during the English Civil War. The Royalist commander, Prince Rupert, stationed himself at Didsbury Ees, to the south of Barlow Moor. Cavalier was the name used by Parliamentarians for a Royalist supporter of King Charles I during the English Civil War ( 1642 &ndash 1651 Rupert Count Palatine of the Rhine Duke of Bavaria (German Ruprecht Pfalzgraf bei Rhein Herzog von Bayern) commonly called Prince Rupert of the Rhine, (17 It is also likely that Bonnie Prince Charlie crossed the Mersey at Didsbury in 1745, in the Jacobite march south from Manchester to Derby, and again in the subsequent retreat.

Jewish immigrants started to arrive in Manchester from the late-18th century, initially settling mainly in the suburbs to the north of the city. From the 1890s onwards, many of them moved to what were seen as the more "sophisticated" suburbs in the south, such as Withington and Didsbury. [10] The influx of Jewish immigrants led to Didsbury being nicknamed "Yidsbury" and Palatine Road, a main road through West Didsbury, "Palestine Road". [11]

During the Victorian expansion of Manchester, Didsbury developed as a prosperous settlement; a few mansions from the period still exist on Wilmslow Road between Didsbury Village and Parrs Wood to the east and Withington to the north, but they have now been converted to nursing homes and offices. The opening of the Midland Railway line in 1880 contributed greatly to the rapid growth in the population of Didsbury, with stations at Didsbury and Withington and West Didsbury offering easy rail connections to Manchester Central Station. The Midland Railway (MR was a Railway company in the United Kingdom, which existed from 1844 to 1922 when it became part of the London Midland and Scottish Manchester Central (Formerly known as the GMEX centre and Manchester International Conference Centre (MICC is an exhibition and conference centre housed in a former The line closed in 1967, although Didsbury station building remained standing until its demolition in the 1980s. The station clock and water fountain have survived, dedicated to local doctor and campaigner for the poor, Dr. J. Milson Rhodes. [12]

On 28 April 1910, French pilot Louis Paulhan landed his Farman biplane in Barcicroft Fields, Pytha Fold Farm, on the borders of Withington, Burnage and Didsbury, at the end of the first powered flight from London to Manchester, with one short overnight stop at Lichfield.

Civic history

In the early 13th century, Didsbury lay within the manor of Withington, a feudal estate that also included the townships of Withington, Chorlton-cum-Hardy, Moss Side, Rusholme, Burnage, Denton and Haughton, ruled by the Hathersage, Longford and Tatton families,[15] and within the historic county boundaries of Lancashire.

By 1764, Didsbury was described as a township in its own right. [12] It became a civil parish in 1866, and in 1876 was incorporated into the Withington Urban Sanitary District, superseded in 1894 by the creation of Withington Urban District. A civil parish in the United Kingdom is a unit of local government. [17] In 1904, Withington Urban District became a part of the City of Manchester, and Didsbury was absorbed into the city, although it remained a civil parish until 1910.

The geography of Greater Manchester is dominated by one of the United Kingdom 's largest Metropolitan areas and in this capacity the landlocked Metropolitan county 4166, -2. 2311), is located below the midpoint of the Greater Manchester Urban Area, 4. The Greater Manchester Urban Area is an area of land defined by the Office for National Statistics consisting of the large Conurbation surrounding and including the 5 miles (7. 2 km) south of Manchester City Centre. Manchester City Centre is the Central business district of both Manchester and Greater Manchester, in North West England. To the north, Didsbury is bordered by Withington, Chorlton-cum-Hardy and Burnage, to the west by Northenden, to the east and south-east by Heaton Moor and Cheadle, and by Gatley to the south. Withington is a suburban area of the City of Manchester, in North West England. Chorlton-cum-Hardy is a suburban area of the City of Manchester, North West England, known locally as Chorlton. Burnage is a Neighbourhood of the City of Manchester in North West England. Northenden is an area of Wythenshawe in the City of Manchester, in North West England.

The River Mersey forms Didsbury's southern and southwestern boundaries and certain stretches of the river also demarcate the boundaries of the City of Manchester. See also Mersey River (Tasmania and Mersey River (Nova Scotia. The area (East Didsbury, West Didsbury and Didsbury) is generally considered to be roughly enclosed by Princess Parkway to the west, Kingsway to the east and the Ball Brook, just north of Lapwing Lane/Fog Lane to the north. This northern boundary is marked by a boundary stone in the front garden wall of a house on the west side of Wilmslow Road. A "country trail" passes from West Didsbury to East, named the Trans Pennine Trail (National Cycle Route 62). The National Cycle Network is a network of cycle routes in the United Kingdom. It was sited along a disused railway track, as part of a nationwide initiative to promote cycling. [22]

The parts of Didsbury around the banks of the Mersey lie within the river's flood plain, and so have historically been prone to flooding after heavy rainfall. [23] The last major flooding was in the late 1960s, thanks to the extensive flood mitigation work carried out along the Mersey Valley through Manchester in the 1970s, which helped to speed up the passage of floodwater. Fletcher Moss Botanical Garden also acts as an emergency flood basin, storing floodwater until it can be safely released back into the river. Fletcher Moss Botanical Garden (known locally as Fletcher Moss) is situated in Didsbury, Manchester, England. [24]

The traditional independent retailers are gradually being replaced by multi-national firms, raising fears that Didsbury may lose its individual identity and become a "clone town". [31] The 200-year-old Peacock's Funeral Parlour, one of the few pre-Victorian buildings in the village and regarded by some as the centrepiece of the village,[32] was demolished in the summer of 2005. The owner, United Co-op, blamed changing demographics for the closure of the funeral parlour; with more and more homes being occupied by young professional people, the death rate was falling in the area.
