Strangeways

About

Strangeways is an inner-city area of Manchester, located just north of the city center. It is known for its mix of residential, commercial, and industrial spaces. The area includes high-rise apartments, older terraced housing, and warehouses converted into offices or creative spaces. Strangeways Prison, a prominent local landmark, has been part of the area since the 19th century.

The neighborhood is close to major transport links, including Manchester Victoria station and the A665 Cheetham Hill Road. Local businesses range from wholesalers and textile traders to independent cafes and shops. The area has seen gradual redevelopment, with new housing projects appearing alongside older buildings. Its central location makes it a practical base for commuters and workers.
