Residents take a trip down memory lane

Thursday, 20 July 2023 at 12:42

The teams behind the Metro cinema and Tameside Hippodrome have been out in the community to gather memories of old Ashton and share their plans for the future.

Andy Kleek, of Monopoly Events, who are dealing with the Metro, and Keith Dalby-Oldham, CEO of Ashton Empire Hippodrome (Building) Ltd, were at Hurst Hall Care Centre on Kings Road in Ashton.

They were invited along by one of the centre’s wellbeing co-ordinators Kayley Foulkes, who said: “Most of the residents here are local residents. 

“They know the area, have grown up in the area and they recall Ashton in its prime. 

“So, with the news of the cinema looking to re-open again I talked to residents and they were really excited about it.

“Everybody has a story or memory and I got in touch with Andy to see if he would come and tell us about it. 

“It turns out he has even more plans for Ashton that he’s come to share with us.”
