message: Stalybridge is in the traditional county of Cheshire.  The traditional counties still exist and so it's incorrect to say that Stalybridge was in Cheshire.  During the 15 years or so that I lived in Stalybridge (in the 1980s and 1990s) virtually everybody wrote "Stalybridge, Cheshire" as their postal address.  I can only remember letters from the Council giving addresses as "Stalybridge, Tameside".  I've edited the article to state that Stalybridge is both in Cheshire and Tameside. 88.105.134.227 17:35, 26 January 2006 (UTC)

message: Is there any evidence to back up the claim that Beatrix Potter actually lived in Gorse Hall for a number of years?  The Tameside Council website only mentions her visiting the Hall several times.

message: I've removed the red deer 'fact' from the trivia section as I find it hard to believe.  A quick Google search only turns up this page.  If anyone has any proof that it happened then reinstate it with the proof. --Aenimiac 17:05, 8 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The red deer incident did happen, I remember it being reported at the time.  Unsure what year it  happened though. --Oscarthecat 18:37, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

message: Rasbottom is an area of Stalybridge (Rasbottom Brow), while Ramsbottom is a place some 20-30 miles away in Lancashire.  I wonder whether this  is a bogus edit. --Oscarthecat 22:43, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

message: Is it really correct to say that Stalybridge Celtic are consistently the most successful team in Tameside.  Over the years that honour has, based on league positions, belonged to Ashton United, Mossley, Hyde United, and most recently Droylsden.Skinsmoke 12:09, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

message: In the trivia section it says that Stalybridge Station bar is the only licensed bar on a station platform, I had a pint in Weymss Bay bar on platform 3, Weymss Bay station last week.

message: I was always under the impression that the river tame provides the Southern most boundery of Lancashire, thus the town is split in two. The area post codes that the Royal Male uses is Lancashire, Can anyone varyfy this? Thanks. 94.192.142.38 (talk) 13:51, 24 September 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: "STALYBRIDGE, chiefly in Cheshire, though taking its name from a former hamlet in Ashton, obtained a Police Act in 1830, and was incorporated in 1857. The boundaries were extended in 1881 to include Millbrook in Stayley and Heyrod in Ashton. It has a council composed of mayor, eight aldermen, and twenty-four councillors. The whole was included in Cheshire in 1898.  The town hall is in Lancashire."  Victoria County History Lancashire Vol 4 p347.  Mr Stephen (talk) 21:46, 25 September 2011 (UTC)
