About Ashton Under Lyne - show infohide info
Ashton under Lyne was originally part of the county of Lancashire, but it is now part of Greater Manchester in the borough of Tameside. The name £Aston under Lyne' is usually considered to refer to the ash trees nearby, with the 'Lyne' element possibly corrupted from the word 'Lime' as there are nearby areas called Limehurst and Limeside and the area north of Ashton was at one time known as 'Lyme'. It became 'Lyne'? by the Victorian era. Ashton is based 7 miles to the north of Manchester, and has the River Thames and Ashton Canal as its waterways. Over the centuries Ashton developed into a small market town, with wool textiles as its main trade and a small part in coal mining. Ashton's industries today include: engineering, food processing, leather, plastics, textiles, brewing, and the manufacture of diesel, gas, and oil engines. The turning point in the town's industrial history occurred with the development of the canals and later railways, with Ashton being the junction for the Manchester and Ashton canal, the Huddersfield Narrow Canal and the Peak Forest Canal. Modern transport developments mean that Ashton under Lyne is close to the M66 motorway, and can easily access both Manchester and Huddersfield by train. There is current discussion involving the extension of the Manchester Metrolink tram system to reach Ashton as well.
