Busk, Greater Manchester
Busk is a locality and archaically a hamlet in the town of Chadderton in the Metropolitan Borough of Oldham, Greater Manchester, England. It is located to the east of Chadderton town centre, on the town's eastern border with Oldham, contiguous with the Westwood area of that town.
The hamlet lay along Busk Road, on a stretch of the road that is now a cycle path. A small recreation ground, Berry's Field, serves the area.
Since local government re-organisation in 1974 the area lies within the Coldhurst electoral ward district which lies mainly within the town of Oldham. A proposal by The Chadderton Historical Society to move Busk back into the Chadderton North ward was rejected by the Boundary Commission in 2003.
The place-name Busk survives in the immediately adjoining streets to the west and south of the original hamlet, known as Busk Estate.
