About

Harpurhey North sits in the northern part of the Harpurhey district, a little over three miles north of Manchester city centre. The area is made up of late 19th-century terraced streets alongside inter-war and post-war council housing, with local shops and services concentrated around the district centre and along main routes such as Rochdale Road. The River Irk runs through the wider Harpurhey area; where it is not culverted it forms a narrow green corridor that cuts across the street pattern and links pockets of open space. Public transport follows the main roads, connecting Harpurhey North to the city and neighbouring suburbs.

Community facilities include primary schools, health and community centres, and small industrial or workshop units tucked against the arterial roads. The street layout of short terraces and back gardens gives way in places to courtyard blocks and amenity strips, reflecting phases of building and rebuilding across the 20th century. That mix of housing, local shopping and the visible line of the Irk defines how people move and meet in Harpurhey North.
