Employment Law Solicitors in Ashton Under Lyne

Ashton-under-Lyne is a market town in the Tameside borough of Greater Manchester, historically part of Lancashire before the 1974 local government reorganisation. The town grew rapidly during the Industrial Revolution as a centre for cotton spinning and weaving, and much of that history is preserved at the Portland Basin Museum, which sits where the Ashton, Peak Forest and Huddersfield Narrow canals once met. Ashton Market, established by royal charter in the thirteenth century, remains one of the largest and longest-running markets in the country and continues to draw traders and shoppers from across the wider area.
