@dannydxl1 The county boundaries have NOT changed, Saddleworth is in Yorkshire.
Oldham is one of the towns, that, along with Saddleworth, Chadderton, Failsworth, Royton, Crompton and Lees, make up the Administrative area named 'Oldham Metropolitan Borough'.
The choice of name for this administrative borough (formed in 1974) gives the impression that Saddleworth is in, or is part of, Oldham, but it isn't.
'Greater Manchester' was an administrative council that was dissolved in 1986.
one. dovestones is not on the moor only Chew is ON the moor. Two, Saddleworth is not IN Oldham it is parish administered from Oldham. Three, most Oldham folk say they are in Lancashire. Four , Greater Manchester is dead and buried, a myth, a futile experiment. Five, Saddleworth parish bears the White rose. nuff said.
@smiffytf Totally agree, why would anybody want to be in Yorkshire?

Saddleworth is in the County of Yorkshire, although administered by Oldham Metropolitan Borough Council.
Oldham similarly is in the County of Lancashire, and shares with Saddleworth its administration by Oldham MBC.
53% of Oldham MB geographically is in the County of Yorkshire and 47% in the County of Lancashire.
Fact - deal with it!
