Stalybridge : Victoria Market
On 9 May 1828, Stalybridge Police and Market Act received Royal Assent, establishing Stalybridge as an independent town with a board of 21 commissioners. Every male over the age of 21 who was the occupier of a rateable property under the act was entitled to vote at the election of the commissioners. On 30 December 1831 the town hall and market were officially opened. In 1833 the Commissioners set up Stalybridge Police Force, which was the first of its kind in the country. By this year the population of the town had reached 14,216 with 2.357 inhabited houses. In 1834 a second bridge was built over the River Tame, downstream of Staley Bridge and constructed of iron.
