Oldham
A large town in the northwest of England, Oldham is the largest settlement in Greater Manchester, with a population just over 100,000. What started out as a smattering of small and insignificant settlements loosely scattered around the moorland eventually became a sizeable town. Originally a centre for textile manufacture, the town owes much of its history to the Industrial Revolution, producing cotton, coal and developments in engineering. Nowadays Oldham is known for its pulsating nightlife, active theatrical culture, and its retail facilities.
