Selling a parka 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.
The tram runs into the centre and connects to the wider region. The town is high and steep, so for anything heavy establish how far it is from a road a vehicle can reach.
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.
