Hartshead Pike
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hartshead Pike is a local monument overlooking Ashton-under-Lyne, in Tameside, Greater Manchester, England.[1]
Although the name "Hartshead Pike" is generally used to mean the tower, it was originally the name of the hill itself. The pike is not the highest part of the hill, but, at 940 feet above sea level, its prominent position has meant that, from early times, it has been the site of a beacon or signalling station.
