A Breathtakingly beautiful Town located 8.9 miles north of Manchester and 59 miles from Blackpool it may well be the most beautiful place in the whole northwest of England. This charming town, located on the side of a gentle hill, looks like a picture off a chocolate box or a scenic calendar. The sky is so blue, the streets so clean, the surroundings so delightful, and the town is so sleepy and peaceful. The town exists in a microclimate which is removed from the surrounding weather patterns. Frosts are unknown and plants from the tropics can be seen in local gardens. Oldham is notable for its fine  members of parliament and local councillors who never seek to line their own pockets. They exist solely to serve the people who elected them. Yeah right.

This website is just for my enjoyment and I hope yours. If any of you ex-pats out there have a location in the Oldham area you would like to see on this website. Then let me know via email, I can't promise to include your requests however I'll do what I can gratis. Any donations of old photos of Oldham are always welcome. Website editor Terry Lees.
