Oldham is an English town located in Greater Manchester. During the Industrial Revolution, Oldham became an important center for the textile industry. More recently, the textile industry there has declined, and there are more efforts to culturally progress the town beyond its textile industry past. Oldham is mentioned once in Voyage in the Dark, when the speaker lists a number of towns that she has visited: "I started counting all the towns I had been to...Wigan, Blackburn, Bury, Oldham, Leeds" (Part III, Chapter 2).
