I found the following extract particularly interesting and I do have a fondness for textile mills.
"It was a boomtown of the Industrial Revolution, and among the first ever industrialised towns, rapidly becoming "one of the most important centres of cotton and textile industries in England" At its zenith, it was the most productive cotton spinning mill town in the world, spinning more cotton than France and Germany combined."
For Tameside the list reads:
Ashton
Audenshaw
