Audenshaw

Audenshaw est une ville située dans le district métropolitain du Tameside dans le Grand Manchester, dans le nord-ouest de l'Angleterre. Historiquement, Audenshaw, qui se trouve à 7,9 km à l'est de Manchester, fait partie du Lancashire, et comptait en 2011 11 419 habitants. Le Nico Ditch, un terrassement du début du Moyen Âge et qui pourrait avoir été construit comme une barrière défensive contre les Vikings, traverse la ville. À cette époque, Audenshaw constituait une division du canton d'Ashton dans le comté de Lancashire. Durant la Révolution industrielle et l'ère victorienne, Audenshaw s'est développé grâce à la fabrication de textiles, notamment la fabrication de chapeaux, la filature de coton, l'impression de calicot et le tissage de la soie. En 1974, le district urbain d'Audenshaw a fusionné avec le district métropolitain de Tameside.
