Tameside

Tameside takes its name from the River Tame and lies on the eastern edge of Greater Manchester, where the towns meet the Pennine hills. Ashton-under-Lyne is known for its market hall and for Portland Basin, where three canals meet beside a local history museum. Stalybridge, Hyde, Denton and Mossley each have their own character, from Denton's long hatting heritage to Mossley's hillside setting above the valley. Look out here for the latest successes of Tameside's towns, traders and community groups.
