Royton East & Cowlishaw

Royton East & Cowlishaw is a residential area in the north of the Oldham borough. It is characterised by its mixture of housing types, including terraced homes, semis, and some modern developments. The area is largely defined by its proximity to open land, with the Crompton Moor and Tandle Hill Country Park providing green spaces on its eastern edges. Local facilities are centred around several primary schools and community centres serving the neighbourhood.

The area is anchored by the Royton town centre to the west, providing everyday shopping and services. A notable local landmark is the historic Royton Hall, a former manor house with grounds now used for community events. Transport links include main bus routes along Oldham Road and Royton's own tram stop, connecting it to Manchester. The overall feel is of a settled, predominantly residential district with easy access to both urban amenities and countryside walks.
