Nostalgia for Me !


I used to drag my Mum down here to sign the HP forms when i was 16!

Here stood my favourite shop in the Northwest , Claremount Motorcycles.

Tameside Theatre


Seven Stars







Hurst Knoll
















Hi There From Ashton

Hi everybody , I am not Ashton born and bred , but have lived here for over 12 years now , and just like Glossop where I do come from is changing rapidly,so it is here,and I have decided to document in pictures the changing face of Tameside,mainly by reading the planning applications in the local press. The future of a few places hang in the balance at the moment ,the marvelous Tameside Theatre,several public houses and schools. Here are a few pictures of the Seven Stars public house,which is about to be demolished and replaced by 2 houses and 2 flats , if planning is granted. Also a few pictures of our kids school,hurst knoll,which is currently going through "consultation" regarding amalgamating with St James school, if approved , Hurst Knoll will be demolished and a new larger school built on the site.
I would welcome any input from any local people,to comment or recommend pictures I should be taking , or pictures you would like to see on here.
You can contact me directly at chriskaraokeman@hotmail.com , or just post a comment on here.
I hope you enjoy your visit to my site !
