Location

Freehold is a tram stop on the Oldham and Rochdale Line (ORL) of Greater Manchester's light-rail Metrolink system. It opened to passengers on 13 June 2012 as part of Phase 3a of the system's expansion, and is located on Block Lane in Chadderton at its boundary with Oldham in the Metropolitan Borough of Oldham, England.

Freehold tram stop serves the Cowhill and Block Lane areas of Chadderton and the adjacent Freehold area of Werneth, Oldham from which the station takes its name. The names Cowhill and Block Lane were also considered as names for the stop prior to opening, the local council finally opting for the name Freehold. The stop is one of the newly built stops on what was the Oldham Loop Line.
