EspañolHAUGHTON GREEN
(Redirected from Haughton, Greater Manchester)
'Haughton Green' is a large village in the ancient township of Haughton, Lancashire, along with Haughton Dale, Higher Haughton, Lower Haughton, Haughton Hall and Haughton itself.
In 1894 Haughton and Denton were formally merged into a singe town and became the Denton Urban District. On 1st April 1974, Denton, became part of the Tameside Metropolitan Borough in the metropolitan county of Greater Manchester, England.
Originally, farming was the main occupation but the discovery of rich deposits of coal brought mining to the area. The soil was not particularly productive and farmers in both Haughton and Denton supplemented their incomes by making felt hats and this industry ultimately dominated the area and made Denton famous for this industry rather than the more usual industries of cotton spinning and weaving.
Haughton Green has roughly 3,000 households.
The old village, and subsequent housing developments, such as the large Manchester Overspill estate now forms part of the Denton South Ward on Tameside Council and the three local councillors are Margaret Downs, Andrew Doubleday and Walter Downs. Andrew Gwynne is the Member of Parliament for Haughton Green, which is a part of the Denton and Reddish Parliamentary Constituency.Other nearby overspill council estates are Hattersley and Gamesley.
Haughton Green is served by three primary schools and a secondary school.
