Ashton Market
Ashton-under-Lyne Town Centre (Junction 23 of the M60)

The cherished market hall is on track for a spring 2008 launch and around £15 million is being spent on rebuilding the property after a massive fire destroyed the Victorian Grade II listed building a few years ago.

Work commenced in January 2007 and the piling works have now been completed with a webcam on progress on view on the council’s main website.

The popular and only surviving features of the old market hall – the walls and the famous clock tower will be retained and strengthened as part of the new structure and local shoppers will be able to revisit early next year.
