The former Royal Hotel (1), 4 Horsedge Street, Oldham
Located in Horsedge, a not very salubrious street just off Yorkshire Street. The road on the left is Rhodes Street. Judging by the name the building started off as a hotel but in recent years it was a public house. A few years ago it became a restaurant featuring Middle Eastern cuisine and now known as Royal Piri Piri.

Royal Oak (2) - sign, 178 Union Street, Oldham
Many public houses & inns in England are named the Royal Oak, to celebrate the restoration of the monarchy in 1660. The significance of the oak being that, before the restoration, the future King Charles II spent most of one day, hiding in an oak tree from Oliver Cromwell's Parliamentarian troops. His birthday of May 29th was still celebrated by many people up to the end of the 19th century. Therefore many pubs continued to be given the name of Royal Oak, even when they were opened a hundred or two hundred years later. Today, for better or worse, the day has lost its significance, probably because the 29th May ceased to be a public holiday some time in the 1850's. This particular pub has only been here since the early 1900's but possibly it replaced an older pub of the same name.
