What's new

Thanks to funding from the MLANW we have been able to add many images from our political posters collection to this site.  Many of them feature the elections of 1899 and 1900 when Winston Churchill became MP for Oldham - his first ever election success. 

In August 2007 Gallery Oldham will be displaying many of these posters in an exhibition called “Oldham Votes”.  It is 175 years since the constituency of Oldham was formed – come along to find out more about the highs and lows of democracy in the borough.
