Welcome to Bardsley

Bardsley is a small village located in the Metropolitan Borough of Oldham, Greater Manchester. It is situated on the eastern side of the River Medlock and is surrounded by the towns of Ashton-under-Lyne, Stalybridge, and Mossley. The village has a rich history dating back to the 13th century when it was known as Berdesley. It was once a thriving industrial area with several mills and factories, but today it is a quiet residential area with a population of around 1,500 people.

One of the most notable landmarks in Bardsley is the St. James Church, which was built in 1839. The church is a Grade II listed building and is known for its beautiful stained glass windows and impressive architecture. The church is still in use today and is a popular destination for tourists and locals alike. Another popular attraction in Bardsley is the Bardsley Vale Nature Reserve, which is a 10-acre site that is home to a variety of wildlife and plant species. The reserve is a great place for nature lovers to explore and enjoy the beauty of the local area.

Bardsley is also home to several local businesses, including a post office, convenience store, and a pub. The village has a strong sense of community, and there are several events and activities held throughout the year, including a summer fair and a Christmas market. Bardsley is a great place to live for those who enjoy a quiet, peaceful lifestyle, while still being close to the amenities and attractions of nearby towns and cities.
