Tameside is a metropolitan borough of Greater Manchester. It is named after the River Tame, which flows through the borough and spans the towns of Ashton-under-Lyne, Audenshaw, Denton, Droylsden, Dukinfield, Hyde, Mossley and Stalybridge. It is approximately 4 miles (6.4 km) east of Manchester city centre, borders Derbyshire to the east, and has easy access routes to The Peak District National Park.
Tameside is served by 13 railway stations and work has recently been completed on the Manchester Metrolink costing ÂŁ260m.
Ashton has had a market for over 700 years and has always been an important market centre for the surrounding area. This is still one of the attractions of the town, with its large Victorian Market Hall and open air market being open six days a week, plus a monthly Farmers' Market. The town has developed into a major shopping hub for the area, with Stamford Street, the Victorian shopping area, boasting a range of interesting specialist shops. Close to the town centre there is an IKEA, Sainsbury's and Marks & Spencer.
