Shaw & Crompton is a large township in Oldham, known for its Victorian and Edwardian housing and its Pennine setting. Shaw town centre and the immediate surrounding streets have Victorian terraces and later Edwardian semis — typical mill-town properties with the expected steep staircases. The Crompton area to the east of Shaw has more stone-built properties reflecting the Pennine fringe, where the housing stock becomes older and the staircase configurations more varied. Shaw market is a notable local institution and the township has a strong community identity.
