Welcome

Welcome to the
September Edition of
your Oldham Evening
Chronicle, with the tragic
news of the death of
Queen Elizabeth II and the
impending state funeral on
Monday a new era begins
with the reign of King
Charles III.
Inside we pay tribute to
the life’s work of the queen
with a look back at her
visits to Oldham and how
we celebrated during the
summers platinum jubilee
celebrations
Royton dad Craig Basnett
celebrates after raising
£12,000 to say “thank you”
to the hospital that helped
save his daughters life by
cycling 879 miles.
As the children returned
back to school this month
our ‘From The Archives’
pages this month looks
back at several schools
from yester year, along
with the latest from the
Coliseum, and a autumn-
themed fashion page.
All this, plus our usual
look at wine, food, cycling,
and books.
As ever, we love to hear
about your stories, your
family, and your life.
