Powered by Met Office DataPoint (Contains public sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence) Where is the OL4 Postcode District? This does not mean that the people of OL4 are poorer than other areas, but it may give an indication that there are areas of deprivation. The OL4 postcode area is located in the Oldham postcode town region, within the county of Greater Manchester, and contains a total of 1254 individual postcodes.

Grid references are used for the locations of many places other than within towns. Each grid reference consists of a two letter code representing a 100 km square area, and two sets of 3 figure numbers. The first 3 figures relate to numbers across the top and bottom of the map, and the second set to numbers down the sides, which show one kilometre squares. The three figure numbers give a position to an accuracy of one tenth of a kilometre. OL4 is a postcode in the United Kingdom, covering the Oldham district located in the North West of the country. The postcode begins with ‘OL' which is an abbreviation of ‘Oldham', and the 4 indicates the area within the district it covers. The area is predominantly residential and suburban in makeup, with the primary geographical area being Saddleworth and other local villages.OL4's retail offerings are limited and are mainly focused around the smaller surrounding towns, however, Royton Town Centre is the area's main shopping area, offering a range of high street and independent shops, as well as a farmers' market.
