Glodwick (pronounced Glod-ick) is an area of Oldham, in Greater Manchester, England. It is south east of Oldham Town Centre. Glodwick is a multi-ethnic residential area in the south of the Metropolitan Borough of Oldham, home particularly to a large community of people of Pakistani heritage. There is also a considerable, but much smaller, community of people of Bangladeshi and African heritage. Glodwick is marked architecturally by Oldham's history with the Industrial Revolution, particularly cotton spinning. Much of Glodwick's housing remain as red-brick terraces, built originally as dwellings for Oldham's many cotton mill workers.

In the late-19th and early-20th centuries, Glodwick provided a base for many of the cotton mills that made Oldham the most productive mill town in the world. Spinning companies like Samuel Milne, James Collinge & Sons and Bagley & Wright brought employment to the area.

In May 2001, Glodwick was the centre of controversy as it was at the heart of the Oldham Riots - large scale rioting said to be fuelled by long-term under-lying racial-tensions between local white and South Asian communities. The rioting gained international media coverage, and was said to be the worst racially-motivated riots in the United Kingdom for fifteen years prior, briefly eclipsing the sectarian violence seen in Northern Ireland.

It has been asserted by both locals and the media that Glodwick is a "no-go area" for White people due to certain sects of the local South Asian population being hostile towards them. However, our fearless leaders say it's myth - but not one of them will dare walk alone in Glodwick after the sun goes down.
