Arms of the County Borough of Oldham Council. File taken from civicheraldry.co.uk, with permission (see about the civic heraldry images...).

[edit] Description

This is the coat of arms of the former Oldham County Borough Council. It is based on those of the ancient family surnamed Oldham. It was granted by the College of Arms in 1894.

[edit] Rationale

The inclusion of this non-free symbol (in its strictest sense) on both Oldham and County Borough of Oldham is intended to improve the context and readibility of these articles. Many coat of arms of Britain's current and former councils exist on other parts of Wikipedia.

The icon is of a defunct (since 1974) organisation (the Oldham County Borough Council - a former public corporation), but commonly used as a symbol of a local division of land.

Illustrates and educates re Oldham without restricting or diminishes copyright holders ability to use the image. The image exists beyond the life of the author plus 70 years.
