After
recently celebrating 150 years of municipal status and
heading into the new Millennium, Oldham is experiencing
a period of renewal and economic regeneration that has parallels with the way the Borough developed
during the latter half of the 19th century, when it
enjoyed a phase of remarkable growth.
Although Oldham's
existence can be traced back to the 11th century, it
was the Industrial Revolution and cotton in particular
that laid the foundations for the town's prosperity. By the end of the
19th century Oldham was recognised as nothing less than
the greatest cotton spinning town in the world.
In the centre
of the town is Tommyfield, in years gone by famous for
fairs, side-shows and circuses and a rallying point
for mass political meetings. The name derives from Tommy's-Field,
a meadow which was rented by pig breeder Tommy Whittaker.
Today it is home to one of the largest outdoor permanent
markets in the north of England.Click to read more...
