Oldham is a town and a borough in North West England, on the north-eastern edge of the Greater Manchester conurbation. Traditionally part of Lancashire, it began as a mill town, and is most recently well-known for inter-racial problems.
Oldham is set to become the largest town in the United Kingdom, not to have a railway station, with the extension of the Metrolink set to replace all rail links in the town.
Oldham was the birthplace of the composer William Walton.
