	Oldham, Greater Manchester, formerly Oldham in Lancashire
		Oldham had coal in abundance, but at that time there was no real mining development in an industrial sense or on a large enough scale to supply fuel-hungry steam engines.
		Oldham began to produce its own coal in the 19th century, and perhaps more importantly, it began to develop a base in the production of engineering machinery - initially for the textile trade, but later for other industries.
		This revolutionised the Oldham spinning industry and from 1750 onwards the old romantic cottage industries of home spun yarns ended and the machines were exiled to the attics of Oldham.
