Oldham Local Area Guide

Lessons around Oldham use real local roads including Union Street, Huddersfield Road and Rochdale Road, so by the time you're ready for your test you've already driven the streets you'll use every day after passing. Winston Churchill began his political career as Oldham's MP, elected in the 1900 general election before later becoming Prime Minister.

We also plan around school-run traffic near Oldham Hulme Grammar School and Crompton House CofE School, using quieter spots like Oldham Town Hall (built 1841, now a cinema) for early manoeuvre practice before stepping up to busier sections of Union Street.

Test centre: most learners around Oldham test at Chadderton Driving Test Centre, 9 Broadgate, Broadgate Business Park, Chadderton, Oldham, Greater Manchester, OL9 9XA; mock tests are planned around the routes examiners actually use from there.
