Newton is an area of Hyde, in Tameside, Greater Manchester, England. Originally a separate district in Cheshire, it was incorporated into Hyde in the 1930s, and occupies a narrow strip of land from the River Tame near Newton Hall to Matley, and lies between Hyde and Dukinfield. Newton still uses the Cheshire name in its addresses, however, and is in the SK Post code region and uses the code SK14.
Newton can be divided into four separate parts, working uphill from the river:
On the road to Matley, (Matley Lane), lies the former site of Shaw Hall factory.
Newton is part of the Stalybridge and Hyde constituency, whose Member of Parliament is currently Jonathan Reynolds of the Labour Co-operative party. Newton stands in the North West England European Parliament constituency.
Newton is in Tameside Metropolitan Borough Council, which was formed in 1974 and whose council offices are in Ashton-Under-Lyne.
Newton is served by Newton for Hyde railway station and Flowery Field railway station, which both lie on the Glossop Line and are operated by Northern Rail.
