Royton is a town in Oldham with a heritage as a cotton-spinning centre going back to the early nineteenth century. The housing is predominantly Victorian terraces in the town centre and Crompton area — the typical steep-staired mill-town terrace — and interwar and post-war semis in the wider residential streets. Royton borders Shaw and Crompton and the Pennine fringe, and some properties on the eastern edge of the town towards the moorland have older stone construction and more varied staircase configurations than the standard urban terrace.
