Oldham Mini Guide
Visit the north of England by hiring a car in Oldham. This large town is part of Greater Manchester. With a rental vehicle you can get out of the urban area and visit areas of stunning natural beauty including the Pennines Mountains. Oldham is also very interesting for its history. This was one of the hubs of the industrial revolution in England which was very remarkable for the massive production of cotton and other textiles. When those industries declined so did Oldham. In fact the area has been even more depressed recently given the worldwide financial crisis has made jobs harder to come by.
In that respect Oldham is something of a throwback to a bygone era when people worked longer hours in hard conditions to make England the powerful empire that it once was. It is sad that such a great town has fallen so far yet Oldham still has a great reputation in the fields of performing arts and further education. It is also very distinctive architecturally due to the presence of those looming old cotton mills.
More than 100,000 people live in Oldham so it is certainly a significant presence on the map of northern England.
