About

Gorse Hill & Cornbrook is a compact residential ward situated directly south of Manchester city centre, separated by the River Medlock. The area is dominated by Victorian and Edwardian terraced housing, with modern apartment blocks concentrated around the Pomona and Cornbrook Metrolink stations. Industrial units and commercial spaces line the major roads, reflecting its location on the edge of the city's core. The ward's landscape is largely urban, with the Bridgewater Canal and railway lines forming significant boundaries.

The area is defined by major transport corridors, including Chester Road and the Metrolink lines to Eccles and the Airport. Pomona Strand, a green space on an old dock basin, provides a recreational area. Local life centres on the community hub of Gorse Hill Studios and the Gorse Hill Hotel.
