History of Ashton-under-Lyne and the Surrounding District

Ashton-under-Lyne was a small market town that became an important mill town during the industrial revolution. A wonderful read for anybody interested local history. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
