Hollinwood is an area of Oldham between Chadderton and Failsworth. In pre-industrial times ‘The Hollinwood’ was a moor or common. This was extensively built on with the demand for cotton mills and the associated housing development.
The electrical engineering firm, Ferranti was a major employer here throughout the 20th century.
