About

Gorse Hill is an area and electoral ward in the Metropolitan Borough of Trafford, Greater Manchester. The neighbourhood combines residential streets with pockets of light industry and local retail parades. Housing is mostly terraced and semi‑detached stock from the 19th and 20th centuries. At the centre of the area is Gorse Hill Park, a municipal green with sports pitches, children’s play areas and a pavilion that anchors local activity. The ward includes several primary schools and community centres, and regular bus services link Gorse Hill to other parts of Trafford.

Local life is organised around the park and short shopping streets serving daily needs. Community sports teams and after‑school groups use the pitches and hall, while small workshops and service businesses occupy older mill and warehouse buildings. The place name records the local plant cover: gorse once grew on the hill where the park now lies, a reminder of the area’s transition from open ground to built neighbourhood over the last two centuries.
