Remember playing in St Marys area in the 50s. used to walk over Oldham Edge from Shaw Rd, .they demolished soon after as they did Higginshaw so all the familes who were scattered around Oldham lost touch as we did when we went to Roundthorn .No idea who condemned then except he was a chap from London who had never seen Oldham but he was from London and thought we all lived in slums. The accommodation wasn't great but everyone knew and helped each other, better than many today.

I have no recollection of the old inside market, even though I’m aged 55 now. I don’t recall even my parents mentioning the market fire.. but the more I learnt about it, I feel perhaps some of the structure could of been saved, just like parts of Ashton indoor market structure was saved after they had a fire.

All this happened on the building of the monasteries and the Cathedrals in the Middle Ages. They were employed by the Church before the Reformation. They were looked after in the Monasteries by monks.

Amen. They opened the first leprosy colonies - like AD 300; how many atheists would ever try that ? Atheists existed in A/Greece - selfless? - and leprosy was tho't to be contagious Monasticism brougt about the Scholasticsm moement, philosophers like Thomas Aquinus. The 1st Western hospitals, schools, uni's... founded by momks; frst to sponsor scientists, eg Roger Bacon, Galileo - quest for knowledge encouraged....by t/Church Nobel prizes - 90 pc won by those who ID as Christian or Jew, since 1905

My dad worked as a Laundry Manager in a private hospital from 1928-1978.. Both his Laundry Dept and General Housekeeping kept hospital linens, uniforms - and the hospital rooms spotless.... SERIOUSLY. Today, citizens pay a lot of money to be abused by fake medicine and poor sanitation in hospitals. God willing, this will not continue indefinitely....
