| We went into Ashton-under-Lyne, 3 miles from where we live in Mossley, to do some shopping and just walking around enjoying the market. This is where we usually shop each weekend. Ashton is a nice sized town and has most of what we need. There is the outdoor market and there is a big indoor market which is being refurbished, after it caught on fire a few years ago. They are hoping to have it finished in about a year from now. It was a beautiful OLD building and they are saving the outside of it and redoing the inside, which is great! Also some photos inside the small shopping mall there called The Arcade.
Ken and I went on Saturday and then that night went to meet some friends for a meal and then Sunday we went back into Ashton to shop a bit more and we ate lunch at one of our fave little tea rooms. Hope you enjoy the days out with us. If you have any questions at all, please ask. Janie & Ken |
