Historical & Ecological Origin
The land was originally part of the factory grounds for the Manchester Manufacturing Company, established in the early 19th century. The green was formally designated as a public space in the early 20th century. Ecologically, it is a managed temperate deciduous forest ecosystem, with the grass maintained through regular mowing.

Facts & Legends
A local anecdote suggests that the granite for the war memorial was sourced from a quarry that supplied stone for the original factory buildings. The bandstand is a replica of one that stood on the green in the early 1900s.
