Editing Greetland (section)

==Geography==
Greetland is situated primarily around Stainland, Saddleworth and Rochdale Roads, with much of the village on one side of the steep hill that separates the latter two roads. Saddleworth Road and Rochdale Road meet at a double traffic junction in a small commercial area called West Vale.

<blockquote>
"The old part of Greetland was strung out along what is now the B6113 to the west. In the late 19C a new town known as West Vale developed in the valley, and a school and church were built (SE097213). The name stems from being at the western end of Elland, although it is at the eastern end of Greetland which was an independent authority only from 1894 to 1937." <small>Humphrey Bolton</small>.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/38654|title=Geograph:: Greetland, West Vale, school and church (C) Humphrey Bolton|website=www.geograph.org.uk|accessdate=29 April 2019}}</ref>{{better source needed|date=December 2018}}
