Rehousing area guide: Crumpsall

Welcome to Crumpsall

Crumpsall is a residential area less than three miles north of Manchester city centre. It is between Cheetham Hill Road/Middleton Road in the west, and Waterloo Street in the east. It includes one of the area's largest hospitals - North Manchester General. Our housing is in two main parts: around Cleveland Road near the hospital in 'Higher Crumpsall'; and around the junction of Crescent Road and Waterloo Street in 'Lower Crumpsall'. 'Lower Crumpsall' is within half a mile of Rochdale Road.

Higher Crumpsall has local shops, a small supermarket and a post office on Landsdowne Road. Lower Crumpsall has a couple of local shops and a post office on Waterloo Street. Both areas are three-quarters of a mile from Cheetham Hill Road - a busy, vibrant, recently-refurbished area of shops, supermarkets, stalls and banks. Lower Crumpsall is slightly nearer to the new North City Centre complex off Rochdale Road, although it is a hilly walk. As well as a variety of smaller shops, there is a large Asda supermarket at the district centre, an indoor food market hall and an outdoor market.

The Abraham Moss centre (on Crescent Road) is a major asset to Crumpsall. It's within half a mile of all homes, and has swimming pools, a gymnasium, sauna, squash courts, fitness suite, football pitches, tennis courts, cricket area, sunbeds, steam room and a whole range of programmed activities like aerobics, gymnastics, karate, badminton, basketball, junior clubs and much more. There is a theatre with regular plays and concerts, and a modern library there too.

There is good public transport, with regular buses from the hospital to the entertainment, shops and leisure facilities in the vibrant city centre. All homes are less than half a mile away from one of the two local Metrolink stations - there are frequent, speedy trams between Bury and Manchester city centre. The trams bring employment opportunities within easy reach. Higher Crumpsall is just over a mile from Heaton Park - one of the biggest city parks Europe.
