Heritage
Park Bridge is a rare remnant of Greater Manchester’s early industrial history. Originally a medieval hunting park, it developed from the late 18th century into a thriving ironworking settlement, with Park Bridge Ironworks playing an important role in the region’s industrial growth.
Today, the site retains a collection of historic buildings and ruins set within a rural landscape. It has been carefully conserved in recent decades, combining its industrial heritage with the surrounding natural environment.
The surviving architecture, in particular the former Heritage Centre, provides a genuine opportunity to bring a historic building back into use, building on the character and story of one of Tameside’s most distinctive and established heritage locations.
