There are several historical sites in Stalybridge and the surrounding areas. For further information please visit the Tameside Archaeological Society.
STAYLEY HALL
Stayley Hall is a near derelict, sixteenth Century, timber framed manor house and a Grade II* Listed Building, situated in a prominent position on an area of open land overlooking the Tame valley west of Millbrook village. It has been the Council's policy for many years that Stayley Hall, as a major historical asset to the Borough, should be suitably restored.

It is probable that if the Hall is to be restored, the resource agency will come primarily from the private sector. Hotel, restaurant, conference, leisure and tourism uses are generally to be welcomed in Tameside and are appropriate for a building of this kind, provided its historical character and integrity are maintained and public access is available for educational and interpretative purposes. | |
| Bohemia Cottages | ||
| Between 1700-1750 the villagers numbered no more than 140 at any one time,earning a living in a dual capacity as farmers and weavers. They lived in cottages such as those still existing at 'Bohemia', constructed in 1721. Some of them would have had loom-house attached where as many as six to eight spinners worked to supply one weaver. |  |
