Oldham Historical Research Group

It's frequently difficult, when looking at an old map to identify the location on a more modern one.
In the maps below we (the group) started with a map from 1617, and followed the location boundary through a series of maps up to 1891.
This was made possible by the natural features and boundaries remaining virtually the same
