Audenshaw was a division of the township of Ashton, and is now within the Metropolitan Borough of Tameside. In 1877, part of the original village of Audenshaw was demolished to make way for the three Audenshaw Reservoirs.

In the 19th century most people in Audenshaw were occupied in the hatting industry, the manufacture of cotton and silk, and calico printing.
