Marslands Manchester Map

About Marslands

Marslands breathes the quiet air of the Pennine foothills, a distinct corner of Oldham where the land itself seems to sigh with the passage of seasons. It lies 5.2 km east-north-east of Lees (from Lees: bearing 62°T, OS grid SD 998 070), and is situated south-south-west of Diggle village. Here, the houses huddle together as if for warmth against the sweeping openness of the surrounding moors, their brick facades catching the diffused northern light. The memory of industry, a faint echo in the very contours of the land, still whispers of a time when the clatter of machinery might have punctuated the hush. Even now, a certain stoic resilience seems to infuse the place, a quiet dignity born of enduring the elements and the changing tides of fortune, much like the hardy sheep that graze upon the heather-clad slopes. The sky above Marslands often unfurls in vast, dramatic swathes of grey and blue, a constant, ever-present reminder of the wilder country that presses close.
