The Stuff We Can't Fit In Somewhere Else

• CROWN POINT The cross roads to congestion.
• The Train Station Denton has a train station, which is possibly as run down as Denton! It has an island platform [two lines either side of platform] accessed via a metal stair direct off the A57 Manchester road. The platform has vandalised lights, which have not worked for years, but are not required, as the trains don’t stop in the dark! In fact they don’t stop in the light apart from once on Friday, think about 3 PM. That does not return you to Denton later! No just one way! Well, perhaps the Passenger Transport Authority and the Franchised Rail Operator possibly thinks its better not to return! If the trains did run on a regular bases which was once the case, one would be able to travel to Guide Bridge or Stockport in the other direction, transferring onto trains direct to Manchester if need be! Thereby easing an increasing overburdened congested road system! Come on planners, stop making congestion on / of our road system like the recently remodelled f… up as at Crown Point and earn your money by possibly designing passenger bus / rail links.
• DENTON MUST BE SHORT FOR DEAD TOWN
• DENTON is a place people often drive through - whether on the M67 or the A57 - but if you bother to stop and look around, as I did today, you'll find a town with a lots of history, a great feeling of community and a growing sense of civic pride. Located six miles (9.5 km) east of Manchester, Denton lies on the intersection of two historic highways: the A57 east west from Manchester to Hyde and the A6010 north south from Ashton to Stockport. The intersection of those two roads is Crown Point, named after a 1759 British victory in North America. From here, frequent buses go to and from Manchester and other destinations. There's no nearby rail link with Manchester. See the

The Knowhere Guide started out as a list of places to skateboard in the UK. It is a compilation of (unedited) information and views supplied by users like yourself. It is not a conventional tourist guide!

In most cases, the information in each section has been submitted by more than one contributor (the credits at the bottom of the page list some, but not all, of the contributors) and some of it dates back to the 1970s.

We make no claims as to the accuracy of the information in the Guide - our only purpose is to provide a forum for users to share their knowledge and opinions. So please keep a large bag of salt handy and be prepared to read between the lines!

If you disagree with a comment, or information is out of date, please submit an update! The contributors come from all walks of life, and their opinions are bound to be subjective, so if your view isn't represented, please speak up and contribute to the balance of the Guide. See below in the 'Have Your Say' section for how to add your voice.

If we have helped you out or made you laugh you can buy us a pint.
