Bury
This article is about the town and borough of Bury in England. See also Bury St Edmunds and Bury, Cambridgeshire for other places with the same name. For the process of burying objects in soil, see burial.
Bury is a town on the northern side of Greater Manchester in North West England. It is the largest town in the Metropolitan Borough of Bury.
The town's radio station is Tower FM and it also has a professional football club, Bury F.C, which plays at Gigg Lane.
The town's main claim to fame is that it was the birth place of the British Prime Minister, Sir Robert Peel. A monument now exists, Peel Tower, to his memory. As this is situated nearly 1,000 feet above sea level, it is easily recognizable for miles around. The wife of the current Prime Minister, Cherie Blair, was also born in Bury.
Bury is also famous for its black pudding – so much so, that it is not uncommon to see it as "Bury black pudding" on a menu.
Bury Grammar School has existed since the 16th Century.
