The Oldham Evening Chronicle newspaper was first published under its original title of Oldham Chronicle in May 1854. The publishers for many years were Hirst Kidd & Rennie Ltd and the paper and sister publications were based in these premises. On the 31st August 2017 the firm went into administration and publication ceased on that date. The 49 staff became redundant. Subsequently the title was purchased by a local radio station and in February 2018 it was relaunched as the Oldham Chronicle as an online publication. It is based elsewhere in Oldham and not at this address.
