Irlam is situated on the north bank of the River Irwell, from which it almost certainly takes its name, being known in the 13th century as Irwellham. Until around the time of the arrival of the Cheshire Lines Committee railway and the opening of Irlam railway station, in 1873, Irlam remained a largely undeveloped village, on the southern edge of the peat bog known as Chat Moss.
The official Irlam coat of arms (right) was commissioned by the Irlam Urban District Council. You can clearly see flames raising from above the shield the flames represent the the once thriving industry of Irlam Steel Works.
