Saddleworth is a collection of stone-built Pennine villages in the Metropolitan Borough of Oldham, including Uppermill, Delph, Dobcross, Diggle, Greenfield and Springhead. Until 1974 Saddleworth was part of the West Riding of Yorkshire, and the stone-built character of its properties reflects the traditional Pennine vernacular. The older properties in Uppermill, Dobcross and Delph in particular are among the most architecturally complex we encounter — steep stone staircases, winder steps, split-level layouts and properties that predate the standard Victorian terrace by decades. Saddleworth is genuinely different from the rest of the borough and requires a very different approach to stairlift surveying.
