Bury: Bin It Or Bag It
"Home of the Black Pudding, Proud of the Pong"
Official Coat of Arms
A shield quartered with a coil of black pudding rampant, the tower of Bury Parish Church, a Metrolink tram stuck at a red signal, and a pie steaming ominously in the rain. The motto beneath reads 'Nihil Sine Porcina' — Nothing Without Pork.
TripAdvisor Review
★★★☆☆ 3/5
"Went for the market, stayed because I couldn't find parking for an hour. The black pudding stall is genuinely world class, no notes there, but the smell hits you before the taste ever does. Bury Town Hall is quite grand looking but everything around it feels like it's still waiting for regeneration to actually arrive. Would come back for the food, would not come back for a big night out."— GaryFromRadcliffe_Nostalgic
Property Listing
Charming Greater Manchester gem offering unrivalled tram access to the city centre and a market that will feed you for a week on a tenner! Ideally located for those who dream of falling asleep to the gentle aroma of offal and the distant rumble of the East Lancashire Railway.
Twinned With
Bologna — Both towns have built their entire international reputation on a single processed meat product.
Supporting Evidence
Bury Market has been trading since 1440 and is still famous nationwide for its black pudding, which locals will defend to the death against any pretender from elsewhere in Lancashire.
