Greenmount is a village in Tottington in the West Pennine Moors, in the northern part of the Metropolitan Borough of Bury, in Greater Manchester, England.
People who lived near to the Sunday School included the name of Greenmount in their address and gradually this was extended to the surrounding area and became the village name.
The footpath also forms part of National Cycle Route 6, connecting Greenmount to Manchester city centre to the south.
[1] Brookhouse Farm on Holcombe Road has a blue plaque marking it as the 17th century home of Henry Wood, a Quaker and supporter of Oliver Cromwell who emigrated to New Jersey where he founded the city of Woodbury.
Antony Cotton, star of the soap opera Coronation Street, was also born and raised in the village.
