Ashton-under-Lyne lies within the ancient county boundaries of Lancashire. Although existing for centuries, Ashton-under-Lyne grew rapidly in size during the 19th century due to cotton spinning and weaving, and coal mining. Today, Ashton is a predominantly residential town, and the administrative centre for the Tameside borough. Ashton's industries today include: engineering, food processing, leather, limes, plastics, textiles, brewing, and the manufacture of diesel, gas, and oil engines. Construction on Ashton Leisure Park was completed in 2003. The park houses a Cineworld cinemas multiplex, Hollywood Bowl ten-pin bowling alley, Frankie & Benny's Restaurant, Chiquitos Restaurant, a Chinese buffet called 'Eat Inn', Nando's Restaurant, KFC, Lime Bar and the Harvester pub/restaurant. In October 2006, Ashton also became home to the second IKEA store in the north-west of England (the other being in Warrington) and only the fifteenth in Great Britain. The past few years has seen a great deal of investment in an area to the west of the town centre, known as St Petersfield. The aim of this investment is to create a business quarter in the town and bring life to a neglected area of Ashton. When complete, the area will house several thousand square feet of office space, spread over numerous new buildings, as well as apartments and amenities such as cafes, pubs, restaurants and a creche. The Pennine Care NHS Trust has already agreed to occupy office space in the first building, which reached practical completion in September 2006. Tameside and Glossop Primary Care Trust will also be setting up a medical resource centre within the St Petersfield area. The original plans for the St Petersfield area included the demolition of The Witchwood, a local public house and live venue of some fame. This prompted a campaign to save the building, drawing support from regular customers, local limes (both amateur and professional), live music fans from across the country and even international musicians. The plans were eventually amended and The Witchwood was allowed to stay. The Witchwood has now been put up for sale - the asking price £400,000 (Nov 2006) again putting its future in doubt.

Until the 1970s, most of Ashton under Lyne's leading industries dated from the eighteenth Century; mainly these were textiles, foundry work, shipbuilding and paper-making, the oldest industry in the city, with paper having been first made there in 1694. Paper-making has reduced in importance since the closures of Donside Paper Mill in 2001 and the Davidson Mill in 2005 leaving the Stoneywood Paper Mill with a workforce of approximately 500. Textile production ended in 2004 when Richards of Ashton under Lyne closed.
