Lying 1.8 miles south of Chadderton town centre, Coalshaw Green was formerly an archaic hamlet located in the south east of the township around the junction of Turf Lane and Drury Lane, and forms a contiguous urban area with Butler Green, Whitegate and Hollinwood.
Coalshaw Green Park, which opened in 1911, is Chadderton's oldest public park. It comprises a formal park and, until 2017, adjoining playing fields which has now become a suburban housing development.
The Chadderton Cricket & Bowling Club, known locally as 'The Big Cot', is a long-standing social club in the area.
Coalshaw Green is also the location of South Chadderton Metrolink station.
