Love the Place you Live – The Oldham Pledge Culture Trail
A family-friendly walking tour of Oldham's iconic buildings and public spaces. If you walk around our historic town, you will encounter a diverse culture that has been shaped by its residents and the history of the industrial revolution. Oldham was transformed in the 1800s to become the biggest cotton-spinning town in the world and Union Street, Greaves Street and Yorkshire Street still contain several grand historic buildings. The trail will focus on who and what makes Oldham, both in the past and in the present. The trail will also celebrate and promote the wonderful opportunities the town has to offer.
A map will be made available for families to walk the trail
