Salford and Macclesfield Hundreds



The Lancashire parts of Tameside traditionally came under the SALFORD HUNDRED. The following extract is from Aiken's "Forty Miles around Manchester" published in 1795.

"Lancashire sends 14 members to parliament, provides 800 men to the national militia, and pays only five parts out of the 513 of the land-tax of England.

The county is divided into six Hundreds, viz. those of Salford, West Derby, Leyland, Blackburne, Amounderness, and Lonsdale.

The following townships make up the Salford Hundred*:
