Reddish
Reddish is an area of Stockport, Greater Manchester in the United Kingdom. Reddish is a thriving area, with many remains left from the industrial revolution, such as Houldsworth Mill. The area is currently enjoying a period of rapid growth and development as people from nearby 'well-off' areas such as Heaton Moor and Bramhall are looking to Reddish as a way of affording housing.
The area is home to many tertiary services. Houldsworth square (named after local Victorian era mill-owner, William Houldsworth) has many shops and banks, serving the local population. There are also many well-performing schools such as Reddish Vale Technology College in South Reddish.
The local population have the advantage of being close to Reddish Vale, an area of green, open, council-owned land for the residents of the town to enjoy. Reddish Vale is also home to some businesses, such as Reddish Vale Tea Room and the Parndon racing Greyhound kennels.
Reddish is a densley populated area which enjoys the advantages of being close to some of the richest parts of the country (such as Alderley Edge in Cheshire). However, as with most of the United Kingdom, Reddish suffers from a certain degree of crime. A small handful of youths, known locally as 'Scallies' vandalise property and hurl abuse at passers by. This is an example of what a "scally" is: http://pic.piczo.com/img/i116930127_53429.jpg. This is Jack Holland and he has sucked off Sealey and Simmo, who didn't know what was going on at the time.
Despite this, Reddish continues to be an attraction to many people in the Greater Manchester area to work, live and relax.
Reddish is located in the parliamentary constituency of Denton and Reddish (UK Parliament constituency) and Andrew Gwynne has represented the seat since the 2005 General Election.
