Droylsden is a suburb of Tameside, sitting between Manchester and Ashton-under-Lyne along the main Manchester Road (A662). The housing is a mix of Victorian terraces close to the main road and the original village centre around Greenside Lane, and post-war housing on the residential estates to the north and south of Manchester Road. Droylsden has a strong community character and a large population of long-term homeowners who have lived in the same property for decades.
