Stalybridge South

Stalybridge South is a ward in Tameside covering the southern part of the town of Stalybridge. The area sits in the Tame valley and contains stretches of stone-built Victorian terraces and former mill buildings set along the river and canal corridors. Streets are laid out in long runs of closely spaced housing, with small back gardens and narrow ginnels between rows. Railway lines run through the valley floor, and the pattern of bridges and retaining walls marks the town's industrial past.

Local provision includes parades of shops on main roads, primary schools, churches and community centres serving local neighbourhoods. Some mills have been converted to light industry or housing, while pocket green spaces and footpaths lead up from the valley to higher ground and the moorland edge. Stalybridge railway station provides regular services on the regional rail network, and bus routes run along key corridors within the ward, giving residents direct links to employment and services elsewhere in the borough.
