Derker is an area of Oldham, in Greater Manchester, England. It lies in north-central Oldham, close to the boundary with Royton. History Historically a part of Lancashire, Derker was recorded as a place of residence in 1604 with the name ''Dirtcar''.

These houses were compulsorily purchased, and demolished, and, as of 2019, have yet to be replaced. Granville Mill met a sour end when it was destroyed by fire in 1999. All of the mills have now been demolished either as a part of the housing market renewal scheme or converted into industrial units. In the 2000s, Derker had terraced houses "unsuited to modern needs" according to the Housing Market Renewal Initiative. This was opposed and legally challenged by ...
