janewilliams20That's the latest research project, for an online game in which I seem to own the place. So I'm calling on the hive-mind, as Google isn't turning up much.
There's good stuff down these links

http://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=53011
and of course Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bury
I'd like to find a map of the main streets at the time, and I'd like to know if "The Rock" was so-called back then, and if so, why? It's now a big shopping centre and leisure complex, it used to be a shopping street - is there also some big chunk of geology sitting around?
