About Failsworth and the 0161 Area Code
Failsworth is a town straddling the boundary between the City of Manchester and the Metropolitan Borough of Oldham, positioned along the A62 Oldham Road corridor in north-east Manchester. The town has a distinguished industrial heritage, having been a major centre of cotton spinning and hat manufacturing during the Victorian era. Failsworth is also known as the birthplace of the Pole that saved England — a reference to Robert Milligan, who raised troops here during the Jacobite rising of 1745.
The town benefits from the Metrolink tram network, with Failsworth and Hollinwood stops providing direct services into Manchester city centre, making it popular with commuters. Failsworth retains a busy local shopping centre along Oldham Road, and the Daisy Nook Country Park on its eastern edge offers attractive green space along the Medlock Valley, hosting the traditional Easter Monday Daisy Nook fair.
Failsworth's position between Manchester and Oldham, served by tram, bus, and major road links, makes it a convenient location for businesses targeting customers across north-east Greater Manchester.
