Pendleton is an inner city area of Salford, Greater Manchester, England. It is about from Manchester city centre. The A6 dual carriageway skirts the east of the district. Historically in Lancashire, Pendleton is a former township of the Hundred of Salford, which experienced rapid urbanisation following the Industrial Revolution. Pendleton is a densely populated area of Salford which has several high-rise blocks of flats (tower blocks) – typically between seventeen and twenty seven floors high – some of the tallest buildings in Salford and Greater Manchester. The area also has two colleges; Pendleton College and a Salford College campus, Salford's largest shopping precinct, Salford Shopping City and Pendleton Police Station. ==History== The township has been variously recorded as Penelton in 1199, Pennelton in 1212, Penilton in 1236, Penhulton in 1331, Penulton in 1356 and Pendleton from about 1600. In the Middle Ages the manor was named ''Pen-hulton'' when it was held by the Hultons of Hulton Park. Until 1780 the village was rural, a group of cottages around a village green with a maypole. The Industrial Revolution brought about rapid expansion in the population and large cotton-mills and premises for dyeing, printing, and bleaching were built providing employment. Pendleton Colliery was developed from the early 19th century.〔 Violence and looting occurred in Pendleton during the 2011 England riots.〔http://mancunianmatters.co.uk/content/17084944-ambitious-pendleton-pfi-regeneration-initiative-given-go-ahead-%C2%A3430million-housing-〕 In August 2012 Salford City Council announced a £430million regeneration scheme for the area. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Pendleton, Greater Manchester」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
