Some interesting info about
Oldham. Oldham is a large town in Greater
Manchester, England. It lies amid the Pennines on elevated
ground between the rivers Irk and Medlock, 5.3 miles (8.5
km) south-southeast of Rochdale, and 6.9 miles (11.1 km)
northeast of the city of Manchester. Oldham is surrounded by
several smaller settlements which together form the
Metropolitan Borough of Oldham, of which Oldham is the
administrative centre.
Historically a part of Lancashire, and with little early
history to speak of, Oldham rose to prominence during the
19th century as an international centre of textile
manufacture. It was a boomtown of the Industrial Revolution,
and among the first ever industrialised towns, rapidly
becoming "one of the most important centres of cotton and
textile industries in England". At its zenith, it was the
most productive cotton spinning mill town in the world,
spinning more cotton than France and Germany combined.
Oldham's textile industry began to fall into decline during
the mid-20th century, and its last mill closed in 1998.
The demise of textile processing in Oldham depressed the
local economy. Today Oldham is a predominantly residential
town, and a centre for further education and the performing
arts. It is, however, still distinguished architecturally by
the surviving cotton mills and other buildings associated
with that industry. The town's population of 103,544 lives
in an area of around 26 square miles (67 km2).

(53.5444°, -2.1169°), and 164 miles (264 km) north-northwest
of London, Oldham stands 700 feet (213 m) above sea level,
6.9 miles (11.1 km) northeast of Manchester city centre, on
elevated ground between the rivers Irk and Medlock.
Saddleworth and the South Pennines are close to the east,
whilst on all other sides, Oldham is bound by smaller towns,
including Ashton-under-Lyne, Chadderton, Failsworth, Royton
and Shaw and Crompton, with little or no green space between
them. Oldham experiences a temperate maritime climate, like
much of the British Isles, with relatively cool summers and
mild winters. There is regular but generally light
precipitation throughout the year.
Oldham's topography is characterised by its rugged, elevated
Pennine terrain. It has an area of 6.91 square miles (17.90
km2). The geology of Oldham is represented by the Millstone
Grit and Coal Measures series of rocks. The River Beal,
flowing northwards, forms the boundary between Oldham on one
side and Royton and Shaw and Crompton on the other.
To the east of this river the surface rises to a height of
1,225 feet (373 m) at Woodward Hill, on the border with the
parish of Saddleworth. The rest of the surface is hilly, the
average height decreasing towards the southwest to
Failsworth and the city of Manchester. The ridge called
Oldham Edge, 800 feet (244 m) high, comes southward from
Royton into the centre of the town.
Oldham's irregularly constructed built environment is
characterised by its red-brick cotton mills and surrounding
terraced houses.Oldham's built environment is characterised
by its 19th-century red-brick terraced houses, the
infrastructure that was built to support these and the
town's former cotton mills – which mark the town's skyline.
The urban structure of Oldham is irregular when compared to
most towns in England, its form restricted in places by its
hilly upland terrain. |
