Town in Greater Manchester; birthplace of composer William Walton (6)

I believe the answer is:

oldham

(Other definitions for oldham that I've seen before include "Town NE of Manchester, Churchill once its MP" , "Pennine town in Greater Manchester" , "Town north-east of Manchester" , "Northern town" , "Town near Manchester" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
