Stalybridge info
Stalybridge is a town in the
Metropolitan Borough of Tameside in Greater Manchester.
Stalybridge is a small town in the north-west
of England. It lies at the foothills of the Pennines,
which are also known as the backbone of Britain,
8 miles east of Manchester.
The Huddersfield Narrow Canal passes through
the town, and in the library there is the Astley
Cheetham Art Gallery. Near the Hartshead Power
Station in the urban part Heyrod, Huddersfield
Narrow Canal runs under the legs of an electricity
pylon.
A former nineteenth century industrial town,
Stalybridge is now in the midst of a multi-million
pound refurbishment programme. The canal, which
was once filled in and made into a car park, has
been completely restored with new cafés
along the banks and boat trips running. Stalybridge
has over 30 pubs. One quirky statistic is that
it has the pub with the longest name in the United
Kingdom, The Old Thirteenth Cheshire Astley Volunteer
Rifleman Corps Inn, as well as the shortest in
the U.K., Q, and the Buffet Bar which until recently
was the only licensed bar on a railway platform.
Stalybridge has become known as 'Little Venice'
because the River Tame runs through the centre
as does the canal – and also as 'Stalyvegas'
due to all the new clubs, bars and public houses
opening up in the area. The surrounding towns
of Ashton-under-Lyne, Audenshaw, Denton, Dukinfield,
Droylsden, Hyde, Longdendale, and Mossley form
the collective borough known as Tameside.
The football team in Stalybridge is called Stalybridge
Celtic. They are one of four FIFA recognised teams
to be called Celtic. Usually based in non-league
football, they are consistently the best team
in Stalybridge.
There is a tradition of musical dynasty. The
first ever brass band was created in Stalybridge.
Also, the song "It's A Long Way To Tipperary"
was written there, after composer Jack Judge was
was challenged by a friend to write, compose and
produce a song in just one night. This was despite
the writer having never visited the Irish village.
The most famous band to have been founded in Stalybridge
was The Fivepenny Piece who sung traditional Northern
music in the 1970s. They were particularly noted
for taking the work of a local poet and putting
it to music. Their most famous song is arguably
"In Bowton's Yard". A more modern musical
example is David Bates who currently lives there.
Stalybridge also has a world famous artist who
lived in the area. Many of the paintings by L.S.Lowry
(noted for his matchstick man and cats and dogs)
were of the people and factories of Stalybridge.
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.
