The History of Bury NUT

The Bury Division of the National Union of Teachers was created in its current form in 1984.

The Bury Teachers’ Association had been formed in 1875.

There was an association for Ramsbottom and one for Prestwich, Radcliffe & Whitefield (PRW).

In 1973 the three associations, whilst retaining their separate identities, formed the Bury Division of the NUT. This was in preparation for the re-organisation of local government that was to create Bury MBC in April 1974.

In January 1974 Ramsbottom Association merged with Bury. The Bury Division continued as a “multi association Division” (Bury & PRW) until 1984 when the merger of the two associations created the “single association Division” named as Bury Metropolitan Teachers Association.
