History
Tyldesley grew to prominence through cotton and coal. The earliest evidence of history in Tyldesley is the remains of the Roman road running through the area between the camps at Wigan and Manchester. In 1947 two urns containing about 600 Roman bronze coins, minted between AD 259 and AD 273 were found near the route of the ancient road.
New residential developments have changed the face of the town's immediate surroundings and encouraged tremendous activity on the high street. Popular favourites are welcoming a host of new and innovative retailers and service providers into this attractive centre.
