Oldham Town Centre (Most deprived town in England) | 4K Walk

A walk through Oldham, I really felt a sense of community from this small town. Walking through the market (not filmed) it was full of locals shopping at the locally ran stalls, the butchers and greengrocers. Not a common sight nowadays with the chains taking over. It was nice to see.
Definitely not the prettiest or best kept town I've visited but it felt nice to be there, even just for a short trip.

Oldham is a town in Greater Manchester, England, it lies amongst the Pennines on elevated ground between the rivers Irk and Medlock, 7 miles (11.3 km) northeast of Manchester. It is the administrative centre of the Metropolitan Borough of Oldham, which had a population of 237,110 in 2019.

Within the boundaries of the historic county of Lancashire, and with little early history to speak of, Oldham rose to prominence in the 19th century as an international centre of textile manufacture. It was a boomtown of the Industrial Revolution, and among the first ever industrialised towns, rapidly becoming "one of the most important centres of cotton and textile industries in England." At its zenith, it was the most productive cotton spinning mill town in the world, producing more cotton than France and Germany combined. Oldham's textile industry fell into decline in the mid-20th century; the town's last mill closed in 1998.
