Oldham was a gold mining community in the 1930s and 40s. It is located about 2.5 kms from the local town of Enfield. Oldham was a place for travellers to stop while on route from the Guysbrough Rd to Enfield, Halifax, and other surrounding areas. The family name Cole is prominent in the community with many other family names such as Whitten, Chaplin, Miuse, McPhail,Dunfords, and Publicover. Many families are related to each other and Oldham is a tight-nit community. Years ago the highlight of the kids entertainment in the community was riding their ponies through the fields,backroads, and going to Pauly's store for a sweet treat. Baseball and hockey were also games that the kids would play on the dirt road and in the fields.
