Welcome to Hurst

Hurst is a small village located in the Metropolitan Borough of Oldham, Greater Manchester. It is situated on the eastern edge of the borough, bordering the town of Ashton-under-Lyne. The village is primarily residential, with a mix of housing types ranging from traditional terraced houses to modern developments. Hurst is known for its close-knit community and friendly atmosphere, making it a popular place to live for families and young professionals.

One of the main attractions in Hurst is the Hurst Cross Monument, which is located in the centre of the village. The monument was erected in 1893 to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the reign of Queen Victoria. It is a Grade II listed structure and is considered to be one of the most important landmarks in the area. The monument is surrounded by a small park, which is a popular spot for picnics and outdoor activities.

Hurst is also home to a number of local amenities, including a post office, convenience stores, and a community centre. The village has a strong sense of community, with regular events and activities organised by local groups and organisations. These include a weekly farmers' market, a summer fair, and a Christmas lights switch-on event. Hurst is well-connected to the rest of Greater Manchester, with easy access to the M60 motorway and regular bus services to nearby towns and cities.
