About

Rusholme ward sits directly south of Manchester's city centre, bordered by Fallowfield and Moss Side. The area is primarily residential, characterised by a mix of Victorian and Edwardian terraced housing, alongside purpose-built student accommodation and some modern apartment blocks. Its main thoroughfare is Wilmslow Road, a long, busy artery running through its centre.

The ward is notably home to the "Curry Mile," a dense concentration of South Asian restaurants, takeaways, and sweet shops that draws visitors from across the region. The presence of the University of Manchester's Owen's Park campus and several large hospitals adds to the constant activity. Victoria Park, a private, gated residential area with larger villas, lies within its eastern boundary.
