Learn more about hotels in Oldham

Nestled between the rivers Irk and Medlock on elevated ground in Greater Manchester, Oldham is a town steeped in a rich tapestry of history and culture. Once the world’s most productive cotton-spinning mill town, Oldham’s roots are intricately woven with those of the textile industry, a legacy evident in the town's architectural heritage. Today, the mountainous piles of cotton have given way to a renewed focus on education and the performing arts, part of an initiative to revitalise the town's economy and enrich its cultural scene.

Delve deeper into Oldham's past to uncover its fascinating origins, with its name deriving not from Old English but from the Old Norse Aldehulme, denoting 'old village or place'. With historical remnants tracing back to Neolithic, Roman, and Celtic periods, Oldham’s charm isn't just in its more recent textile-affiliated past, but indeed sprawls across millennia. Political civil disturbances and social movements inject an essence of notable societal history into Oldham, further enriching the tapestry of this town’s remarkable journey.
