Roughtown Manchester Map

About Roughtown

Roughtown, a scattering of dwellings in Tameside, Manchester, breathes a quiet air of the Pennine foothills. It lies 0.8 km north-east of Mossley (from Mossley: bearing 53°T, OS grid SD 976 028), and is situated south of Quick village. The houses here often present themselves with a stoic, stone-built resilience, a fitting aspect given the winds that sweep in from the moorland heights. The light often has a certain clarity, filtering through the often-brisk air, illuminating the green fields that still hold sway around the edges of Roughtown. While its precise origins may be lost to the mists of local lore, Roughtown bears the unassuming character of places that have long served as quiet havens for those who worked the land or the nearby mills.
