Stalybridge

Stalybridge is a town in the metropolitan borough of Tameside in Greater Manchester, situated at the confluence of the River Tame and River Carr approximately nine miles east of Manchester city centre. The town developed rapidly during the Industrial Revolution as a centre of cotton spinning and weaving, and its 19th-century mill buildings and canals reflect this heritage. Stalybridge is part of the foothills of the Pennines and served by the trans-Pennine rail line, and is closely linked to the neighbouring towns of Ashton-under-Lyne and Hyde.
