	About Ancoats
		Ancoats is often referred to as the world's first industrial suburb an edge-of-town industrial estate, built on a Georgian street grid.
		Ancoats saw its fair share of casualties during the two World Wars and contributed to the war effort, with the mills producing military uniforms and parachute silks.

	Ancoats, a District & Suburb of Manchester
		Before the late 18th century, Ancoats had still retained a semi-rural aspect, but by 1800 it had been transformed into an effective industrial suburb, dominated as it was by the new steam driven Murray Mill by 1789 and the recently completed Ashton Canal which provided material and goods transportation in and out of the city.
		Apart from textile spinning and weaving, Ancoats was also a major hat manufacturing district, and the William Plant Hat Works continued to operate from their location on Great Ancoats Street until the early 1970s.
		Ancoats Old Hall is said to have been as fine a house as any in Manchester in its day - its imposing fl and white timber structure dominated the corner of Every Street for many years.

		These Ancoats mills were probably the first example of the machinery layout which later became widespread in the Lancashire cotton industry.
		The scale of mill building in Ancoats was also exceptional, and the extant mill complexes can all be said to represent some of the limits reached by mill builders in the early 19th century.
