About

Smallshaw is an area in the metropolitan borough of Tameside, Greater Manchester. The neighbourhood is mainly residential, with rows of terraced and semi‑detached houses and a small parade of shops on the main road. Daily life is carried out around a local school, a community centre and short stretches of green space that double as play areas and meeting points. Bus services run along the key routes, linking residents to nearby town centres and rail stations elsewhere in the borough.

Development in Smallshaw reflects the 19th‑century expansion of industry in Tameside: long runs of workers’ terraces and the sites of small former mills are woven into the street pattern. Smallshaw Lane cuts through the older part of the area and meets a small triangular green that is used for community events and allotments. The arrangement of streets and the mix of converted work sites and housing give a clear sense of local history while day‑to‑day life revolves around schools, shops and voluntary groups.
