Greenfield is a village in the civil parish of Saddleworth in the Metropolitan Borough of Oldham, in Greater Manchester, England.

[1] Historically part of the West Riding of Yorkshire, Greenfield is sited in the Chew Valley, on the main A635 road from Ashton-under-Lyne to Holmfirth.

The old stone houses of Saddleworth date from the 17th century and were home to farmers and hand loom weavers in the woollen trade.

[citation needed] The poem Jone o Grinfilt was written about a fictional inhabitant of the village with the aim of ridiculing countryside dwellers.

Their administration led to problems; for example, the village was dependent on a fire service based in Holmfirth, despite it being located significantly further away than Oldham.

The area includes some of the sites used by Ian Brady and Myra Hindley, known as the 'Moors murders', to bury their child victims in the early to mid 1960s.

Services operated by TransPennine Express run eastbound towards Huddersfield, via Marsden and Slaithwaite, and westbound towards Manchester Piccadilly, via Mossley, Stalybridge and Ashton-under-Lyne.

[6] The 180 is operated by Stagecoach Manchester as part of the Bee Network between Greenfield and Oldham, and is the only bus service to terminate in the village.

The 356 is operated by Diamond North West as part of the Bee Network between Ashton-under-Lyne and Oldham with some services terminating at Greenfield railway station.
