Coldhurst

Coldhurst (or more rarely Cold Hurst) is an area of Oldham and an electoral ward of the wider Metropolitan Borough of Oldham in Greater Manchester, England.

Historically a part of Lancashire, Coldhurst was formerly a chapelry within the ancient ecclesiastical parish of Prestwich-cum-Oldham, in the Salfordshire hundred.

Coldhurst is said to have been the scene of an action in the English Civil War in which the parliamentarians were defeated.

[4] Coldhurst is the home of a significant community of South Asian (particularly Bangladeshi) heritage.

[1] 37% of the population is non-white and most of the white residents live in what have been described as "bleak council developments".
