About

Fallowfield is a residential area situated to the south of Manchester city centre. It is primarily known for its large student population, with numerous university accommodations and shared houses. The ward contains several local shopping parades along Wilmslow Road and Mauldeth Road, providing essential services. Its housing stock is a mix of Victorian terraces and larger semi-detached properties, alongside modern apartment blocks built for the student market.

The area is bordered by the green spaces of Platt Fields Park to the north and the Fallowfield Loop walking and cycling path, which follows a disused railway line. Local life heavily revolves around the universities, with a concentration of cafes, takeaways, and pubs catering to the academic calendar. The former ABC cinema, a distinctive art deco building on Wilmslow Road, now houses a supermarket but retains its original facade.
