The population of Manchester increased by more than 150% between 1831 and 1851, which put considerable pressure on refuse disposal, a problem exacerbated by the gradual switch from the older cesspit methods of sewage disposal to pail closets, which began in the 1870s. Pail closets required regular emptying, and by the 1880s Manchester was producing more than 200,000 long tons (200,000 t; 220,000 ST) of refuse annually, about 75% of which was night soil.[6]
Along with parts of Moss Side and Withington, in 1885 Bradford, Harpurhey, and Rusholme were added to the City of Manchester.[7] To cope with the extra demand for refuse disposal, Manchester Corporation began to look for disposal sites. A number of locations were considered, including one on Deeside, and another in Nottinghamshire, but Carrington Moss was chosen due to the nature of the land, and its accessibility.[8] In 1886 the corporation bought the Carrington Moss Estate—an area of grouse moorland—from Harry Grey, 8th Earl of Stamford.[9][10][11]
