I've heard of somewhere called Mumps Bridge

NND.
Dont venture over Shap in a snowstorm,,or that will be the last anyone sees of you,,,:}}}

Hello everyone,
just nipping in to say that I deleted all my posts from yesterday. Someone had spelled my name wrong and I adopted it temporarily as my board name. I apologise to anyone who may have been offended by it.

Oldham Mumps is a railway station.

Manchester: great for shopping, great for eating, great for culture, typical city centre.
Oh, and dont miss Canal Street!

Bury outdoor market is the best in Britain- or so the sign says and if you go to Bury get the East Lancs Railway and travel by steam train through the Irwell Valley- beautiful.

The Moors: plenty of walking and all up hill. Get a map of the Rossendale way (45 miles) and give me a wave ~~~~~ on the way past!

Edit: You can get a diner train on the east lancs, here is a sample menu

Theres not much of interest in Oldham it self but the surrounding areas are quite nice and the Saddleworth Villages are worth visiting

You can catch a bus to Uppermill from Oldham st in Manchester Uppermill has some shops a park, a musuem, a canal where on some days there are boat trips
There are quite a few cafes and pubs where you can get a meal
