Heywood - Inbreeding and pubs. Was once in the Guinness Book of Records for having the most pubs per head in the population (around about 5 pubs per person it seemed)

You forgot
Peter Heywood, the magistrate who, with a party of men, arrested Guy Fawkes during the Gunpowder Plot of 1605.
Another member of the family, also called Peter Heywood, was aboard the HMS Bounty when its crew mutinied in 1789
Plum Mill 1905, once the largest mule-spinning mill in the world under one roof.
Mellors brook chimney, it was about 4 foot out of perpendicular and once known as "The Crookedest shaft in England"
Former Oldham and Sheffield Untited keeper Paul Gerard was born in Heywood
Those twins from Shameless/Emmerdale are from Heywood.
Lisa Stansfield was raised in Heywood
July Goodyear still lives there.
Les Denis has a caravan in Ashy Valley.
It's a shithole.

There's also Elbow and James H Reeve. Plus Nico (ex Velvet Underground) and Sham 69 lived there for a while. Victoria Wood, Elkie Brooks, Victoria Derbyshire, Susan Bookbinder, Atomic Kitten's Jenny Frost and Beverley Turner, the swimmer, are all Prestwich girls. Kevin Godley and Lol Creme (ex 10cc) and Colin Shindler (Manchester United Ruined My Life) were also Prestwich born.

Sharon Osbourne spent a lot of time there (and still has family in the area) as her grandmother lived there. Her father, Don Arden, is buried in Agecroft Cemetery.
