Saddleworth, Civil parish in Oldham, England
Saddleworth encompasses multiple villages across 29.4 square miles of terrain in Greater Manchester, featuring settlements like Uppermill, Dobcross, and Greenfield.
The region transformed from its Yorkshire heritage to become part of Greater Manchester in 1974, marking a significant administrative change for this textile manufacturing area.
The Whit Friday brass band competition, established in 1884, brings musicians from across the country to perform in various villages throughout Saddleworth.
The parish maintains convenient transportation links through train services from Greenfield and Mossley stations, connecting residents to Manchester city center.
The Rushcart ceremony, revived in 1975, continues the tradition where Morris dancers construct and pull a cart filled with rushes through the streets.
