Dukinfield is a town in Tameside, closely connected to Ashton-under-Lyne and Hyde. The town is one of the earliest in the area to have developed as a cotton-spinning settlement, and its housing reflects that early industrial history — tightly packed Victorian terraces with narrow frontages on streets like Oxford Street, Chapel Street and the surrounding roads. These properties have the steep, narrow staircases that come from building as many houses as possible in the minimum space. Slim-profile stairlifts are almost always the right choice in Dukinfield.
