Bury

Bury, in Greater Manchester, is best known for its open-air market, black pudding, and as the birthplace of Sir Robert Peel — the Prime Minister who founded the Metropolitan Police and the Conservative Party. The town sits on the River Irwell and has a compact centre with cafés, restaurants, and historic churches. A monument to Peel stands on Holcombe Hill overlooking the borough, and a memorial stands outside Bury Parish Church.
