About

Failsworth South sits on the eastern edge of Oldham, bordering the city of Manchester. The area is primarily residential, characterised by terraced housing and local amenities along the main roads. Oldham Road serves as a central artery, lined with shops and services catering to daily needs. The residential streets branch off from this main thoroughfare, creating a settled, community-focused environment.

The area's landscape is subtly defined by the Rochdale Canal, which runs along its western boundary. This waterway provides a linear green corridor for walking and cycling, separate from the urban streets. Local green spaces, including the grounds of St John's Church, offer pockets of recreation within the neighbourhood. The area functions as a practical residential district with direct transport links into both Oldham and Manchester centres.
