Hulme

Once home to the famous Crescent flats, Hulme is an area repeatedly redeveloped and razed to the ground again. About to become home to the new MMU campus, it is a residential area popular with students, young professionals and families. Always a place with a thriving arts scene and creative people, the newly-developed Z Arts theatre centre on Stretford Road, a refurbishment of the former Hippodrome and an extension of the Community Garden Centre are all giving the area a boost.
