About

Chadderton South West is a mainly residential part of Chadderton in the Metropolitan Borough of Oldham. Streets are a mix of terraced housing, semi-detached homes and post-war council estates, with local parades of shops, primary schools and community centres serving day-to-day needs. Bus routes run through the area, providing links into Oldham town centre and towards Manchester. Pockets of green space and small playing fields sit between housing blocks and local roads.

Former cotton industry buildings remain visible and some have been repurposed for light industry or housing; a solitary mill chimney still punctures the skyline, a reminder of the area’s manufacturing past. Community groups run allotments, football teams and youth projects that meet in parish halls and social clubs. Local planning has focused on maintaining services and improving pedestrian and cycle connections while keeping the existing street pattern and local shopping centres at the heart of neighbourhood life.
