Heywood, a town in Greater Manchester, England, is known for its storied origins dating back to the Anglo-Saxon period and the nickname of "Monkey Town" reminiscent of its industrial past. The town's rich history encompasses the Cotton Trade era, which helped shape its modern role as a distribution center with excellent transportation links to major motorways. Visitors can experience the area's history through heritage attractions like the East Lancashire Railway—a 20km steam line linking the town with Rawtenstall and Bury. The town's world-class talent also ranges from Lisa Stansfield, a celebrated R&B and soul singer, to architect Ian Simpson, co-founder of SimpsonHaugh and Partners.
