MANCUNIUM , the name often (though perhaps incorrectly) given as the Romano-See also:British name of See also:Manchester. Here, See also:close to the Medlock, in the See also:district still called Castlefield near Knott See also:- MILL
- MILL (O. Eng. mylen, later myln, or miln, adapted from the late Lat. molina, cf. Fr. moulin, from Lat. mola, a mill, molere, to grind; from the same root, mol, is derived " meal;" the word appears in other Teutonic languages, cf. Du. molen, Ger. muhle)
- MILL, JAMES (1773-1836)
- MILL, JOHN (c. 1645–1707)
- MILL, JOHN STUART (1806-1873)
Mill, stood in See also:Roman days a fort garrisoned by a See also:cohort of Roman See also:auxiliary soldiers. The site is now obscured by houses, See also:railways and the See also:Rochdale See also:canal, but vestiges of Roman ramparts can still be seen, and other remains were found in 1907 and previous years. Traces of Romano-British inhabitation have been noted elsewhere in Manchester, especially near the See also:cathedral. But there was no See also:town here; we can trace nothing more. than a fort guarding the roads See also:running See also:north through See also:Lancashire and See also:east into See also:Yorkshire, and the dwellings of See also:women-folk and traders which would naturally See also:spring up outside such a fort. The See also:ancient name is unknown. Our Roman authorities give both Mancunium and Mamucium, but it is not clear that either See also:form is correct.
