Dukinfield Central and Clarendon Fields neighbourhood consists of one and two bedroomed flats, two and three bedroomed maisonettes and houses, including two sheltered schemes.
Jigsaw Homes Group owns approximately 716 properties in this area, managed by New Charter Homes.
There are a wide range of local shops and amenities around the neighbourhood, including large supermarkets, a chemist, a doctor’s surgery, a Post Office, convenience stores, Dukinfield Town Hall, the Police outpost and Dukinfield Park, along with other sports and social clubs.
There are three local primary schools in the area, with a good choice of secondary schools locally and further education is provided by Tameside College and Ashton Sixth Form College.
It was a bright autumn day when I walked through.
Low sun casting long shadows over the bricks and grass.
There are communal open stairways and fenced walkways.
Take a look.
The estate appeared in my book Tameside Moderne.
Which is available online here.
It also features in a post concerning my mam’s route to work from Hill Street to Ashton Brothers.
