"StalyVegas" a Stalybridge Travel Page by Balam

Stalybridge is a small town in the north-west of England. Lying at the foothills of the Pennines, which are also known as the backbone of Britain, 8 miles east of Manchester - It's a beautiful part of the world to live in. Stalybridge has changed - with help from money received from the National Lottery and other sources. The improvements to the town include shopping centres, stores and new accommodation and the restoration of the Huddersfield Narrow Canal.

Stalybridge - once called 'Little Venice' because the Huddersfield Narrow Canal and River Tame run directly through the town - is surrounded by the towns of Ashton-u-Lyne, Audenshaw, Denton, Dukinfield, Droylsden, Hyde, Longdendale, and Mossley. These towns collectively form the borough known as Tameside.

With more visitors to the town in recent years due to the re-building of the Huddersfield Narrow Canal and new clubs and bars opening up in the town - a local radio station referred to the town as 'StalyVegas' - a nickname that has now become popular for the town far and wide.
