The Old Town Hall in Mossley, in Lancashire

Mossley

Mossley is a small town at the meeting of three shires and which spreads liberally across the borders of them all: Lancashire, Cheshire and Yorkshire, which three meet in a 'Y' on the River Tame, in a dale on the lower slopes of the Pennines.

Mossley is not a single-centred town; the Lancashire part, Mossley Brow, is west of the river and the Huddersfield Narrow Canal, with a natural centre at Market Street; the Cheshire side east of the river spreads from Station Road and Staley Road. The Yorkshire part of town is called Roughtown, and is to the north, on the west side of the Tame. (Read more)
