Oldham Town Centre Trail

5 Lyceum

Before you cross Union Street look at Oldham Lyceum which was built in 1856. It had a newsroom, reading room and library, lecture rooms, committee and club rooms, classrooms and an observatory. The Science and Art School was added in 1881. Today this building is the home of Oldham Music Service and The Lyceum Amateur Theatre Group

Be inspired by the creative history of this building. Why not read a book, paint a picture or write a song when you get home?
