About

Shaw ward lies on the western edge of Oldham, bordered by open moorland to the north and the Rochdale Canal tracing its southern boundary. The area's layout is defined by its mill-town heritage, with rows of Victorian terraced housing climbing the hillsides from the central crossroads. The Rochdale Canal runs through the southern part of the ward, a remnant of the industrial transport network that once powered the local economy.

The ward contains several large mill complexes, now largely repurposed, that dominate the skyline. Crompton Moor provides accessible green space on its northern fringe, with footpaths leading onto the Pennine uplands. The area functions as a distinct community with its own high street facilities centred around Market Street and Rochdale Road, serving the local residential population.
