About Oldham and the 0161 Area Code
Oldham is a large town and metropolitan borough in Greater Manchester, perched on the western slopes of the Pennine hills at elevations reaching over 300 metres. The town was once the world capital of cotton spinning, with more spindles than any other town on earth at the industry's peak. That remarkable heritage is visible in the grand civic buildings, imposing former mills, and the magnificent Oldham Coliseum Theatre, one of Britain's last remaining repertory theatres.
Today, Oldham is undergoing significant regeneration. The town centre has seen investment in new cultural and educational facilities, and the planned Metrolink tram-train extension will further improve connections to Manchester. Saddleworth, on the borough's eastern edge, offers stunning moorland and villages within the Peak District, while Alexandra Park provides panoramic views across Greater Manchester from one of the finest Victorian municipal parks in the North West.
With a borough population exceeding 235,000 and a diverse economy spanning manufacturing, services, retail, and the growing digital sector, Oldham offers businesses a substantial customer base and a town that is investing confidently in its future.
