What is "glodwick"

Glodwick (pronounced Glod-ick - silent 'w') is an area of Oldham, in Greater Manchester, England. It is south-east of Oldham town centre.

Glodwick is a multi-ethnic residential area in the south of the Oldham, home particularly to a large community of Pakistanis and British Pakistanis.

Glodwick is marked architecturally by Oldham's history with the Industrial Revolution, particularly cotton spinning. Much of Glodwick's housing remain as red-brick terraces, built originally as dwellings for Oldham's many cotton mill workers.
