Guide Bridge is an area of Audenshaw, west of Ashton-under-Lyne, in Greater Manchester, England.[2] Historically part of Lancashire, Guide Bridge was built as a village around an eponymous bridge over the Ashton Canal.[3]
History
Industries included Scott & Hodgson Ltd which had an engine shop near to Guide Bridge railway station. In later years, it was occupied by "Arnfields", makers of Mono-Pumps. Guide Bridge is located on the Ashton Canal and later on the Sheffield, Ashton-Under-Lyne and Manchester Railway. These were used for the transportation of raw materials and the delivery of parts of the finished engines. Guide Bridge was the home of the Jones Sewing Machine Company.
Governance
Since the Reform Act 1832, Guide Bridge has been represented in the House of Commons of the United Kingdom as part of the Ashton-under-Lyne parliamentary constituency. The constituency was initially represented in the House of Commons by members of the Liberal Party until a period of Conservative Party dominance in the late 19th century. Since 1935, the constituency has been under Labour Party control. The member of parliament since 2015 has been Angela Rayner.[4]
Guide Bridge Conservative Club is on Stockport Road.[5]
