History
Agriculture in Godley dates from 1211–1249.[1] In 1851, the Godley Reservoir was completed.
Industry
During the early 1880s, John Broomer developed an early form of margarine called Butterine.[2] He established a factory in the Olive Tree works, a former hat factory on Mottram Road previously occupied by Henry Taylor Wrigley. In 1888, the Danish margarine manufacturer Otto Monsted acquired the Olive Tree works. The factory was sold to Maypole Dairies in 1902 and later used by Walls to manufacture ice-cream and meat products.
