Godley is a suburb of Hyde, Greater Manchester, England.
The area formed part of the municipal borough of Hyde in Cheshire from 1881 to 1974, when it became part of the metropolitan borough of Tameside.[1][2]
The earliest recorded agriculture in Tameside east of the River Tame was in Godley, from 1211–1249.[3]
In 1851, Godley Reservoir was completed.
In 2023, Tameside Council granted planning permission for Godley Green Garden Village which includes 2,150 dwellings on land between the A560 road and the Manchester-Glossop railway line. This will be developed by MADE Partnership, a consortium of Barratt Redrow, Homes England and Lloyds Banking Group.[4]
