The Royal Oldham Hospital is formed by a collection of buildings built in succession since 1851 along Rochdale Road. Its earliest parts exist from the site's time as a local workhouse, having been named Oldham Union Workhouse; Oldham's main hospital was then on the current site of Oldham Sixth Form College.
