- A walk through Oldham, I really felt a sense of community from this small town. Walking through the market (not filmed) it was full of locals shopping at the locally ran stalls, the butchers and greengrocers. Not a common sight nowadays with the chains taking over. It was nice to see.
Definitely not the prettiest or best kept town I've visited but it felt nice to be there, even just for a short trip.
Oldham is a town in Greater Manchester, England, it lies amongst the Pennines on elevated ground between the rivers Irk and Medlock, 7 miles (11.3 km) northeast of Manchester. It is the administrative centre of the Metropolitan Borough of Oldham, which had a population of 237,110 in 2019.
Within the boundaries of the historic county of Lancashire, and with little early history to speak of, Oldham rose to prominence in the 19th century as an international centre of textile manufacture. It was a boomtown of the Industrial Revolution, and among the first ever industrialised towns, rapidly becoming "one of the most important centres of cotton and textile industries in England." At its zenith, it was the most productive cotton spinning mill town in the world, producing more cotton than France and Germany combined. Oldham's textile industry fell into decline in the mid-20th century; the town's last mill closed in 1998.

I have visited different parts of England mainly in the South and have not heard much positive things from Oldham.
I have been there many times visiting in laws around Greater Manchester area and in Oldham.
I’m from Helsinki Finland and I personally don’t think this look as bad as people say it does.
Oh nice, I’ve visited Finland once when I was a teenager. It’s on my list to visit again soon.
Oldham isn’t all bad, I’ve definitely seen worse towns in to UK
Great people from Oldham, a bit rough around the edges but sound.
Yeah I felt a nice sense of community being there
Poor Oldham it looks depressed like the whole of the UK 😢
Yeah unfortunately more and more towns I visit are looking more empty and deprived
Thank you for watching.

What’s your favourite scenic route?
Sad to see towns like this where it used to be a bustling hub and now pretty run down
I guess once they lost the cotton industry it’s been hard to recover
06:55 Did they literally stick a cinema on to the back of that old building?!
Yeah that’s what it looks like 🤷🏻♂️😂
That is a bit mad.
It also looks like a Sunday go during the week or a Saturday
This was actually filmed on a Tuesday
Don’t fort all that is coming down the new market is going inside where the the building work is taking place next to the cinema
shout out the homeskis lets go making it on another list (im from higgy shiggy)

Dead as a door nail. Not like the early 90s
Yeah I can imagine it used to be a busting little town
What a toilet.
Can’t expect too much from the most deprived town in the UK but I’ve also definitely seen worse!
Those donuts are amazing though to be fair so swings and roundabouts:
Almost makes it worth it 😂
