Mossley
A pocket-sized town in Greater Manchester set in the Pennine foothills along the River Tame, Mossley draws the eye with a heritage-dense streetscape and a dramatic upland setting that makes it one of the more photographed spots in the upper Tame Valley. Historically unusual, it grew up straddling Lancashire, Cheshire, and Yorkshire before being placed fully in Lancashire in 1889 and later absorbed into Greater Manchester in 1974.
