Delph Manchester Map

About Delph

Delph, a village in the Oldham district, carries the quiet dignity of its Pennine setting. It lies 4.7 km north-east of Lees (from Lees: bearing 43°T, OS grid SD 985 080), and is situated north of Wall Hill village. The houses of Delph, often built from the local stone, seem to gather themselves against the sweep of the moorland, their roofs catching the diffused light that filters through the often-clouded sky. Its past is tied to the hard labour of industry, the echoes of mills and mines now softened by the passage of time and the gentle reclaiming of nature. A certain steadfastness pervades the air here, a reflection perhaps of generations who have drawn their livelihoods from the surrounding landscape, a landscape that continues to offer a stark, enduring beauty. The occasional gleam of a stream, a winding lane disappearing over a rise, hints at the enduring character of this corner of Greater Manchester.
