A bit off-topic here but I need the help of some fellow Latics fans. I am doing a project on defining different parts of Oldham. What I am trying to establish is how local people refer to the area they live in. While there are maps and Council wards etc., I am not sure that these relate to what local people call their area.
For example, Hill Stores is a well known area (I think) but doesn't appear on the A to Z or as a Council ward. On the other hand, there are places on the A to Z like Hanging Chadder that I've never heard of.
I have come up with the list below. I would be grateful if anyone could help me with it.
Cheers!
