The ParishThe parish of Hollinwood was created in 1835 from the large Lancashire parish of Oldham, before that the area was a chapelry unlicensed for marriages. Hollinwood is located in southeastern Lancashire quite close to its borders with both neighbouring Yorkshire and also Derbyshire. Hollinwood is about 2 miles southwest of the centre of its mother parish, Oldham sitting astride the A62 road which connects Oldham with the city of Manchester. The area is intensively urban today with a wide area of conurbation joining the two cities and very few open country areas separating the individual towns from the city of Manchester. Hollinwood, previously a small village grew substantially through the 18th and 19th centuries and thereby merited its own church. Hollinwood is drained to the southwest by the Moston Brook, which joins the River Irwell before reaching the Irish Sea through the Mersey Estuary. Hollinwood is sited at around 130 metres above sea level, the Pennine range rises some few miles to the east. Hollinwood was not separately enumerated with respect to acreage and population from its mother parish. There is no specific mention of Hollinwood in Domesday Book. |
