Portland Basin Museum

Portland Basin Museum is housed within the restored nineteenth century Ashton Canal Warehouse in Ashton-under-Lyne. The museum combines a lively modern interior with a peaceful canal side setting. It is an exciting family friendly museum, with something for all the family.

A huge former canal warehouse at the junction of the Ashton, Peak Forest and Huddersfield Canals, with the two lower floors used as a Museum, with accommodation above (I think). A replica street scene, with reconstructed houses, a pub, schoolroom, chapel and shops, plus tableaux on mining, the canals, local transport, hatting and gloving, and other local industries. Access to the canal side, with open air seating to complement the very pleasant tea room and a chance to watch boats passing by. Plus a good souvenir shop and helpful and friendly staff.

Hartshead Pike Tower

Reviewed By denewton - Manchester, United Kingdom

Lovely sunny day and a worthwhile climb to the top where you could really see for miles around. we'd parked up in Mossley and it still did not take very long to get up there. Interesting that others have complained about litter and suggested that a bin be provided. I'd suggest that those ignorant litter louts stay at home !

THE BOWLING GREEN, Ashton Under Lyne

Reviewed By X5222GKandreah

We went out to the pubs last night for the first time since lockdown etc and had a drink in The Bowling Green. The staff were fantastic and I felt they kept everybody safe. The girl on the door made sure everyone sat at their own table which were socially distanced from other groups/couples. When people drink, they obviously become more relaxed and drop their guards, me included, but the staff in here made it their responsibility to make sure people adhered to the guidelines. Thank you for valuing your customers.
