Busy life helps Saddleworth’s Clara reach 100-years-old

SHE MAY have turned 100-years-old, but Clara Colley is very much proving the old adage, ‘Age is nothing but a number.’

Civic Mayor of Oldham, Cllr Zahid Chauhan, joined the celebrations at Waterhead’s Millfield Care Home as the occasion was marked.

And he obviously made a good impression, for his card was preferred to one from King Charles III!

Clara, who reached her century on Wednesday, November 15, has lived all her 100 years in Oldham, 98 of those in Clarksfield.
