History
Ashton Moss, which is a 107 hectare peat bog, is where evidence of prehistoric activity was uncovered. It is only one of the 22 Mesolithic sites not located in the hilly uplands in Tameside.
Before the Norman Conquest of 1066, there was a settlement at Ashton. It was a small hillock on the north bank of the River Tame. To the north side of this, a village was developed which is where St Michael's Square is today.
Ashton developed into a small market town over the centuries. Wool spinning was a traditional industry in the surrounding hilly areas which were ideal for rearing sheep. Coal mining also took place nearby.
The arrival of canals and railways signalled a major turning point for the town. Ashton became a new junction for three canals: Manchester and Ashton, Huddersfield Narrow and Peak Forest.
The Victorian period saw rapid expansion seen in the many rows or red-bricked terraced houses that were built to accommodate the arrival of workers for the cotton mills.
The town also developed into a thriving engineering industry which included computer technology.
