A tale of two towns: Stalybridge

Written by Craig Murtagh
Presented by Ace Maddox
Produced and Directed by Mike Fawcett
Join Ace Maddox as he takes us on a 'normally you'd miss it' tour of the best towns in Tameside and the hidden gems they have to offer. In this documentary Ace will compare, contrast and inform us, in his faultless opinion, what we thought we didn't need to know.

    Glad it made you laugh, yeah we are hoping that Ace Maddox will be up for documenting some more local stuff and maybe interviewing some locals next time. He may also review a forthcoming series we have in the pipeline called Greenhouse wives of lancashire.

    In 1936 Hattersley moved from Tintwistle rural district to the Hyde municipal borough. So is now classed as a area of Hyde like the areas of Godley or Newton. If your going to be pedantic get it right.
