Nostalgia

The 1900s

AT the start of the new century, cotton was still king and provided work for many in the towns that today make up Tameside.

TRAGEDY struck Ashton in 1917.

THE war had cut Lancashire off from its overseas markets and many were never recovered.

HYDE really went to town with celebrations to mark their 50th anniversary of incorporation as a municipal borough.

EXCITEMENT surrounded Mossley in 1944 when a German Messerschmitt 109 was brought to the town after it was shot down over Liverpool.
