Ashton-under-Lyne, located in Tameside within Greater Manchester and identifiable by its OL6 and OL7 postcodes, is a town steeped in history and industrial heritage. Its roots trace back to medieval times, with its name believed to derive from “ash tree settlement.” However, Ashton came to prominence during the Industrial Revolution, emerging as a significant hub for cotton spinning and textile production. The town’s canals, such as the Ashton Canal, were integral to its industrial success, connecting it to Manchester and beyond, and are now treasured features of its landscape. Today, Ashton-under-Lyne blends its historical charm with modern development. The iconic Ashton Market, one of the largest outdoor markets in the northwest, remains a vibrant centrepiece, drawing visitors with its array of stalls. Architectural highlights include the striking neo-Gothic Ashton Town Hall and the historic St Michael’s Church, which lend character to the town’s skyline. Ashton is also home to modern attractions like the Portland Basin Museum, which offers a glimpse into the area’s industrial and social history. With excellent transport links, including a Metrolink connection to Manchester, Ashton-under-Lyne continues to thrive as a town that balances its rich past with a dynamic and forward-looking community spirit.
