Ardwick

Once a powerhouse of the industrial revolution, Ardwick fell into deep decline along with its many factories. It remains one of the most deprived wards in Manchester. But investment which flooded into the east Manchester area has seen a number of regeneration projects in the area – which is seeing it becoming re-branded as a popular home to students and young professionals. The area is also home to the Manchester Apollo which regularly hosts some of the biggest names in music.
