Ashton-under-Lyne info
Ashton-under-Lyne is a town in
Greater Manchester with a population of 44,400
(2001 estimate). Ashton is the administrative
headquarters of the borough of Tameside, and is
located north-east of Manchester. The town was
traditionally in Lancashire. The town was formerly
the centre of a large textile (cotton spinning)
and coal mining industry. Ashton's industries
today include: engineering, food processing, leather,
plastics, textiles, brewing, and the manufacture
of diesel, gas, and oil engines.
The River Tame and the Ashton Canal both run
through the town. A major tourist attraction in
Ashton is the Portland Basin Museum, which is
based in a former warehouse next to the canal.
Another place of interest in the town is the Museum
of the Manchester Regiment.
If it gets the go-ahead, an extension of the
Manchester Metrolink tram
system will be built to Ashton, possibly by 2010,
but funding for this extension currently looks
uncertain.
About Manchester
Manchester
is a city in the north-west of
England. The metropolitan borough of Manchester,
with a population of 422,302, lies at the heart
of a large conurbation called Greater
Manchester, with a population of 2,513,468.
Greater Manchester is also a
metropolitan county in England
established in 1974 which covers an area roughly
encompassing the conurbation of Manchester. It
is situated in North West England. It has borders
with the ceremonial counties of Cheshire (inc.
Warrington), Derbyshire, West Yorkshire, Lancashire
(inc. Blackburn with Darwen) and Merseyside. As
well as Manchester, the county includes major
centres such as Salford,
Bury, Bolton,
Stockport and Wigan.
Greater Manchester is not entirely built-up. Although
Manchester forms a conurbation along with Salford,
Trafford and Stockport,
other boroughs, such as Wigan
and Bury are clearly separate.
Towns in the
Manchester urban area include Salford,
Sale, Altrincham,
Cheadle, Stockport,
Ashton-under-Lyne,
and Oldham, Bury,
Rochdale, Stockport
and Stretford. Places
like Trafford and
Salford can be considered
part of the Manchester urban area in a way that
Wigan or Bolton
are not.
The term "Manchester" is often used
to refer to the entire conurbation, much as "London"
is usually used to mean Greater London, but many
of the constituent parts of Greater Manchester,
such as Salford, Wigan and Bolton, also have separate
identities. People from Manchester are called
Mancunians.
