About

Chorlton ward is a residential area in southwest Manchester, bordered by the Mersey River to the south and the districts of Whalley Range and Old Trafford. Its central spine is the Barlow Moor Road and Wilbraham Road corridor, which forms a busy local high street with a concentration of shops, cafes, and pubs. The housing stock is largely Victorian and Edwardian terraces, alongside some interwar semis and modern apartment developments, creating a varied streetscape.

The area contains several green spaces, notably Chorlton Water Park with its former gravel pits and Chorlton Ees nature reserve along the river. Beech Road offers a distinct, smaller cluster of independent businesses. Public transport connections include regular bus services into Manchester city centre and tram access from nearby stops, supporting its role as a commuter suburb. The mix of housing, local commerce, and accessible natural areas defines the ward's character.
