Staylybridge

The town of Stalybridge is in the county of Cheshire and is hisotically recognised for its cotton mill that was built in 1776. As one of the first centres of textile manufacture during the Industrial Revolution, Stalybridge was to find prosperity by the 19th century. As the original town of Staly expanded, it reached the banks of the River Tame, necessitating the building of a bridge in 1707 and changing the name of the town to Stalybridge. By 1793 steam power had been introduced to the Stalybridge cotton industry and by 1803 there were eight cotton mills and what was once just farmland, became a thriving hub of activity.

At the foothills of the Pennines, Stalybridge is in a beautiful part of the country with stunning scenery and a well served town centre. With shopping centres, stores and the restoration of the Huddersfield Narrow Canal ensuring visitors are not disappointed.

Stalybridge was once called 'Little Venice' because the Huddersfield Narrow Canal and River Tame run directly through the town.
