Collyhurst

On the fringes of the city centre, Collyhurst is one of the most densely populated areas in Manchester. A massive £252m PFI regeneration scheme which pledged to transform the area was scrapped by the incoming coalition Government in 2010 – who said the public purse could no longer afford the scheme. Previously it was the home of the legendary Electric Circus music venue which hosted acts such as The Sex Pistols, The Jam and Joy Division before it closed in 1977.
