Selling gold earrings in Oldham
Oldham was the greatest cotton spinning town in the world at its peak and the mills that remain define the skyline. It sits high on the Pennine edge, which makes it noticeably colder than the city below it, and the tram now connects the two.
Mill closures left tools and equipment in private hands, and family housing turns over within the area. The altitude means winter clothing and heating-adjacent goods have a genuine season here.
The town sits high on the Pennine edge and is colder than the city below. On anything stored in an unheated space, check for damp and for frost damage in seals and pipes.
Oldham, in England, has around 96,000 people, which means a small local market, which makes the nearby towns part of your audience rather than an afterthought. London, Birmingham and Leeds are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
