Directions from Grotton to our Oldham base
Grotton feels quieter than central Oldham, with hillside gardens and fewer wide waiting bays. We allow for longer carries when the van must stay on the flatter section of the road. Approaches from Lees and toward Saddleworth can be steep, and parked cars on bends quickly reduce turning space for a Luton. A short photo of the drive and the nearest turning head usually settles the plan.
