About

Clough & Shaw Side lies within the Metropolitan Borough of Oldham in Greater Manchester. The area is largely residential, with rows of traditional terraced houses alongside later semi‑detached streets. Small parades of shops, a handful of takeaways and a community centre serve everyday needs. Traces of the town’s textile era remain in a few brick mill buildings that have been repurposed for light industry, studios or housing. Regular bus services run through the neighbourhood, linking it with other parts of Oldham and the surrounding borough.

The place-name element "Clough" reflects local topography and there are pockets of steeper ground and wooded hollows where small streams have cut into the land. Local green spaces include a recreation ground and community allotments that host seasonal events and volunteer projects. Schools, places of worship and grassroots groups provide meeting points for residents, and many streets show long family ties reflected in small, locally run shops and clubs that remain active year round.
