[edit] Parish
Does anybody know anything about the (ancient?) parish of Oldham-cum-Prestwich or Prestwich-cum-Oldham?? I presume it was a parish which encompassed the towns of Oldham and Prestwich. It is mentioned in many old "Births, Deaths and Marriage" certificates and on the main article page, but is my presumption correct, when was it created/disbanded? Anybody have any thoughts/info?

- I've since created the article based on research - although others are encouraged to expand it further. Thanks, Jhamez84 20:01, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

- I can technically confirm this, and you should contact the Prestwich Heratage Society for further info. I'd supply contact details, but they'd be absued. - Chris
[edit] Manchester
Its impossible to define Prestwich as a part of Bury. This should be mentioned in the article. Preswich has a manchester post code, manchester insurance ates and is closer to manchester. This difficulty in definition should be mentioned
It is part of Bury borough regardless, in the same way that Middleton is part of Rochdale borough, despite being closer to both Oldham and Manchester.
[edit] Transport
Edited the section mentioning the 98 bus. As someone who gets this bus on a regular basis (every day, to university) I can officially state that at peak times (rush hour, between 8 and 10 AM and between 4-6 pm) it is often more than 10 minutes between busses. - Chris
