Tameside covers Ashton-under-Lyne, Stalybridge, Hyde, Dukinfield and Droylsden — a borough that straddles the boundary between the flat Greater Manchester conurbation and the rising Pennine edge. The housing ranges from dense Victorian terraces in the older town centres to 1950s and 60s estates in Hyde and Droylsden. Stalybridge and the eastern edge of Tameside, where it meets the Pennines and approaches the Yorkshire border, includes older stone-built properties where non-standard staircase configurations are far more common than in the flat urban areas to the west.
