Oldham
Oldham is a large town in Greater Manchester with a population of just over 100,000. Situated in the Pennine hills, 7 miles northeast of Manchester, it owes much of its legacy to the textile industry. During the Industrial Revolution it was the most productive cotton spinning town in the world.
To its east lies the parish of Saddleworth, a rural area home to a number of villages including Delph, Denshaw, Diggle, Dobcross, Greenfield, Lydgate and Uppermill.
