Location & Area Background
Hulme is an inner-city district of Manchester, located just south of the city center.
Historically, it was a working-class area that underwent significant changes due to industrialization, post-war housing developments, and later regeneration projects.
Historical Context of Hulme

Industrial Revolution (18th-19th Century)
Hulme was heavily industrialized, with textile mills, factories, and dense worker housing.
It became overcrowded and suffered from poor living conditions.

Post-War Slum Clearance (Mid-20th Century)
In the 1950s-60s, many old terraced houses were demolished.
The area saw the construction of modernist housing estates, including the infamous Hulme Crescents (large concrete deck-access flats built in the 1970s), which later became synonymous with urban decay.

Regeneration (1990s-Present)
The Crescents were demolished in the 1990s, and Hulme underwent major redevelopment.
New housing, better infrastructure, and community spaces were introduced.
Today, it's a mix of student accommodation (close to the University of Manchester and Manchester Metropolitan University) and residential housing.


The Jacksons covers part of Hulme near Birchfields Road and Royce Road.
It includes a mix of modern flats and some older surviving buildings.
The area is known for its diversity, cultural vibrancy, and proximity to Manchester city center.


Notable Nearby Landmarks
The Zion Arts Centre - A community arts venue.
Hulme Park - A green space created during regeneration.
University of Manchester & Manchester Metropolitan University - Just a short walk away.
