Denton is a town in tameside.
Denton once had 4 felt hatting firm’s in denton and haughton in the 1800s and ” hatting” was the most popular business here
Denton gets its name from the Anglo Saxon word ” deyn” which means Valley, so denton literally means ” Valley Town”
There is a war memorial
l in Victoria Park, for all the soldiers from denton who lost thier lives in the first world war (1914-1918).. I have attached a picture. 3500 denton men fought in the war and sadly 369 were killed.
Remembrance day is coming so I have decided to add this fact into my homework
The oldest church in denton is St Lawrence and its over 500 years old.
I hope you enjoy my facts about denton
