	Visit Oldham - The villages of Saddleworth
		From the 13th century until the mid-19th century, Saddleworth was dominated by such small groups of buildings, located between the ill-drained valley floors and the inhospitable upper slopes.
		The hamlet of Dobcross was in just such a location; it was also at the crossing of two packhorse routes and, as a result, became the largest and most important settlement and the financial centre of Saddleworth, until the valley villages expanded during the second half of the 19th century.
		Saddleworth farmers always supplemented their income by weaving, but as their pastures encroached on to all but the most barren moorland, the growing population was forced to depend more and more on their home industry.

		Saddleworth, which is still a part of the historic County of Yorkshire, is now administered by the Metropolitan Borough of Oldham in Lancashire.
		The area is a group of villages located to the west of the Pennines and is characterised by its textile heritage and farming tradition.
		The thin soil, elevation and exposure to the elements allowed little more in farming terms than the raising of sheep, but the combination of a plentiful supply of wool, high rainfall and soft water promoted a vigorous textile industry - to which the area owes its wealth - which lasted well into the 20th century
