On the second weekend of August every year there is a wartime weekend event in Saddleworth http://www.yanksarebackinsaddleworth.co.uk/ Over the weekend there are various events throughout the area. On the Sunday one of the biggest convoys of wartime vehicles makes its away around Saddleworth passing through the villages of Uppermill, Delph, Standedge, Diggle, Dobcross and back to Uppermill. If the weather is good the event brings the crowds out who line the route through all the villages. In the photograph above the convoy makes its way along the High Street in Uppermill.
