Newtonmoor

About

Newtonmoor is a residential suburb situated in the valley of the River Tame, characterised by its terraced housing and proximity to local green spaces. The area is primarily residential, with a mix of older properties and more modern developments, serving as a commuter settlement for Manchester. Its layout is defined by main roads connecting it to nearby towns like Ashton-under-Lyne and Stalybridge, with local commerce focused along these thoroughfares.

The landscape is gently sloping, with views towards the Pennine foothills. A notable feature is the Newtonmoor Viaduct, a disused railway structure that spans the valley, now forming part of a walking route. The area includes several parks and playing fields, and it is bordered by the river, which has influenced its historical development from a mill-based economy to its current form.
