About

Blackley sits on the north side of Manchester, a neighbourhood that developed from a village into a residential suburb during the 19th and 20th centuries. Terraced streets from the Victorian period sit alongside council and private housing built after the Second World War. Local life centres on small parades of shops, primary schools and community centres, with regular buses linking Blackley to the city centre and to neighbouring suburbs. The area retains some industrial plots and small business units alongside housing.

Green space shapes much of Blackley. Boggart Hole Clough occupies a deep, wooded valley on the eastern edge, with footpaths, a small lake and steep banks that are used for walking and orienteering. Playing fields, allotments and strips of parkland run between housing areas and provide outdoor space used by local clubs and school teams. Community groups run projects from local halls and there are active efforts to manage the clough and other greenspaces for wildlife and recreation.
