Description
Oldham Through Time by Steven Dickens explores the remarkable history of Lancashire's industrial boom town. From its humble beginnings as a cottage industry township to its rise as a thriving textile metropolis, this book charts the transformation of Oldham over the last century and a half. The town's population swelled from just over 12,000 in 1801 to 137,000 by 1901, driven by mass migration from rural areas. At its peak in 1928, more than 360 mills operated night and day, but the industry eventually declined, leaving behind a legacy of industrial heritage. This book presents a fascinating series of images that showcase Oldham's remarkable history, offering a unique glimpse into the town's past and its people.
