Alt, a quiet corner of Oldham, carries the scent of damp earth and distant industry. It lies 1.7 km south-south-west of Lees (from Lees: bearing 209°T, OS grid SD 944 031), and is situated north-east of Park Bridge village. The low hills around Alt seem to hold their breath, their contours softened by the persistent grey Manchester sky, a sky that can, on occasion, break to reveal a surprising clarity. Though no grand edifices mark its presence, the very air here hums with the echoes of former lives, a quiet testament to the generations who have walked these lanes. The modest houses, often built of stone that has weathered the seasons into muted tones, stand as stoic witnesses to the passage of time. There's a certain stoicism in the landscape, a resilience that mirrors the character of those who call Alt home.
