More about Oldham
Birthplace of the worlds first test tube baby Louise Brown in 1978, Oldham can be traced back to the 11th century and has long since been used as one of the major routes from Lancashire to Yorkshire. Although Oldham has lost much of its once famed cotton trade, it is still a major centre of retail in the Greater Manchester area. Discover numerous independent shops and traders in the spacious, modern, indoor Tommyfield market hall, or alternatively wander through the 40 plus high street names underneath one of Europe’s largest stain glass roofs of The Spindles Shopping Centre.
