About

Whalley Range is a residential area southwest of Manchester city centre, characterised by wide, tree-lined streets and a mix of large Victorian villas and more modern housing. The ward is bordered by Chorlton-cum-Hardy to the west and Moss Side to the east, creating a distinct transition between different urban forms. Its layout is defined by several long, straight roads radiating from the central Alexandra Park, which provides a large green space with sports facilities and mature woodland.

The area has a significant South Asian community, with a concentration of businesses and cultural institutions along Wilbraham Road. Whalley Range is also known for its high proportion of educational institutions, from primary schools to a large further education college. The former Whalley Hotel on Carlton Road, with its distinctive turret, stands as a local landmark reflecting the area's architectural heritage.
