Top Attractions Within Oldham City:

Oldham Town Hall is a wonderful Georgian neo-classical town hall built in 1841. Unfortunately it is not available for visitors, because the building is in a very bad condition: the roof is about to fall, the inside is rotting. Plans have been made to restore it, but no course of action has been taken so far. Still, it is one of the most beautiful landmarks in Oldham.

Oldham War Memorial was erected as a memorial to the men who were killed in the First World War. The monument is made of a granite base and on top, there is a bronze sculpture depicting five soldiers making their way through the trenches and it embodies the fighting spirit of the army.

Oldham Civic Center houses the local government. It is a wonderfully build structure, with 15 storeys of white brick. The most impressive structure is the tower which stands over 200feet high. The Civic Center can be seen from any place in town.
