Gorton

The official birthplace of Manchester City F.C, Gorton is famed for being a hub of the booming locomotive industry in the 19th and 20th centuries. Today it is home to famous landmarks such as The Monastery, Manchester and Belle Vue Speedway. In recent years it has become synonymous with TV drama Shameless, which was filmed in the area for several years before the set was relocated.
