About Tameside

The Metropolitan Borough of Tameside is a metropolitan borough of Greater Manchester in North West England.

The history of the area extends back to the Stone Age. There are over 300 listed buildings in Tameside and three Scheduled Ancient Monuments, which includes a castle of national importance. The settlements in Tameside were small townships centred around agriculture until the advent of the Industrial Revolution. The towns of the borough grew and became involved in the cotton industry, which dominated the local economy. The current borough was created in 1974. Since then the area has been administered by Tameside Borough Council.
