Tameside's name came from the River Tame.
It was named and brought together 1st April 1974.
It brought all of the municipal boroughs together.
Tameside was the heart of the industrial revolution it was once a centre of cotton, engineering, coal mining and hatting.

With the introduction of masses of people from the city came issues such as:
-Poverty
-Poor Health issues
-Housing crisis/ conditions
-Issues with ASB/ substance misuse

Slum clearance in Manchester resulted in Tameside being an overspill area.

THESE ARE SOME OF THE SAME ISSUES WHICH TAMESIDE IS FACING NOW.

The population of Tameside currently is:
231,100 people

Tameside is known for being the home to serial killers.

One in particular: Harold Shipman.
It is estimated that he murdered 250 of his patients and possibly more.

This changed the practice of social care and health professionals nationally.
Following the Shipman Enquiry:
1. All health professionals will undergo periodic reassessment of their continuing fitness to practise.
2. For doctors, the current NHS appraisal system will be strengthened to include an explicit judgement about performance in relation to the required standards
3. For other health professions, revalidation will be based on existing information available to employers, supplemented where needed by additional information or assessments.

Mary Ann Britland from Ashton, was the first woman to be executed by hanging for murder

Angela Rayner is now Deputy Leader of the Labour Party.
Angela Rayner's Mum was a young parent at the age of 16.
Angela is currently a pioneer for the people of Tameside breaking stereotypes of people in power.
