Directions to 3Cs Chess Club

​

St.Edward's Parish Hall, Spring Lane, Lees, Oldham, OL4 5AJ

​

Arrive at Hollinwood (via A62 from Manchester or M60, junction 22) and then follow the A62 towards Oldham.

(ie: Turn right onto A62 if going anti-clockwise on M60 or left if clockwise)

​

Follow A62 for about 2 miles until approaching a large roundabout with traffic lights and a bridge above it.

​

Go into the extreme right-hand lane which will go under the bridge and bend right as it does so.

​

Immediately after bending right is another set of lights. Stay in the right-hand lane and go straight on (A62 Huddersfield/Saddleworth).

(ie: Do NOT go back under the bridge to your right).

​

Keep right and go onto the Oldham by-pass coming in from your right.

​

Follow by-pass to 2nd set of lights (about ¾ mile) and turn right onto A669 (Lees/Saddleworth).

​

Follow A669 for about 1.5 miles until you go down a long steep hill, at the bottom of which is Lees Brook Mill on your right.

​

Take first right just after the mill (and just as the road begins to rise again) into Burton Street.

 

Go to top and turn first left into Spring Lane and then immediately left through gates into Parish Hall car park.

​

To park, drive to the back of the building and the entrance to the hall is through the double doors on the opposite side to the car park entrance.

 

(NB:  So you can judge your travelling time;  From Hollinwood at the M60 junction, it should take about 15 minutes to reach the venue.)

​

​

RETURN

​

Spring Lane – Burton Street – Lees Road – Oldham by-pass

Then go 1 mile to 2nd exit (A62 Manchester)

(After going under three bridges on by-pass but just before a fourth).

​

On the sliproad go into the left-hand lane and follow left for A62.

NB: Firstly, on the sliproad, beware of traffic coming from the left on another feeder lane; then, at the bottom of the sliproad, beware of traffic on the right coming off the large roundabout – they should go to the right of a traffic island at the end of the sliproad whilst you stay left of it.

​

Then follow A62 for about 2 miles to Hollinwood and M60, junction 22.
