Eccles is most noted for its famous Eccles Cake. This is a small round puff pastry cake that is usually filled with currents, and topped with butter and demerara sugar. It is often nicknamed the Fly Cake or the Squashed Fly Cake.
Another significant achievement attributed to the town of Eccles is its advancement in firefighting. This area is known as the first municipality in England to operate a motorized fire truck in 1901.
Moreover, an area airport was opened in 1930, and this was the first municipal airport in all of the UK. It was formerly known as the Barton Aerodrome and is now called the City Airport Manchester or the Manchester/Barton Airport.
The airport mentioned above is a site of great historical significance in many ways. For one, it was the chosen military aircraft repair site during World War II.
Additional significant historical landmarks such as the Bridgewater Canal and Foundry are located nearby. Several coal mines were worked during this time, and Eccles is one of the stops along the way, as it was one of the main industrial centres located right on the Manchester Canal.
Later on in history, railways were built in the Eccles vicinity. This caused this town to become even more industrialized than in the past.
An additional importance attributed to this town includes the fact that it was the set of various movies and TV programs. Brass, Mercy, GBH, and Island and War were among those that featured the local airport control tower in select production scenes.
