Saddleworth is a civil parish of the Metropolitan Borough of Oldham in Greater Manchester, England.
[1] It comprises several villages and hamlets amongst the west side of the Pennine hills: Uppermill, Greenfield, Dobcross, Delph, Diggle and others.
Historically a part of the West Riding of Yorkshire, for centuries Saddleworth was a centre of woollen cloth production in the domestic system.
The former Saddleworth Urban District was the only part of the West Riding to have been amalgamated into Greater Manchester in 1974.
Although the railway infrastructure has mostly been removed, the architecture of the bridges, walls and buttresses remains.
