Moss Side
Moss Side is an area of Manchester
in England. The area, which was centred around
a council housing estate (now largely rebuilt
and regenerated) in the south of Manchester, rose
to national infamy during the 1980s due to its
high crime level and a series of race riots.
In 1923, Manchester City Football Club moved
into their capacious new stadium at Maine Road
which on several occasions in its early years
drew crowds of more than 80,000. But its capacity
was gradually reduced over the years and by the
mid 1990's it held just under 35,000 spectators
all seated. The club's board initially planned
to create a 45,000 capacity at Maine Road, but
this was abandoned in favour of relocating to
the government funded City of Manchester Stadium
which would host the 2002 Commonwealth Games.
After the running track was removed and a permanent
fourth stand constructed, Manchester City moved
into their new 48,000-seat home for the start
of the 2003-04 season and managed to virtually
fill their stadium for most games despite narrowly
avoiding relegation from the Premiership. Maine
Road has since been demolished and houses are
expected to be built on the site.
Moss Side has been subject to massive investment
due to its social problems over the last decades.
Around the turn of the 20th century, hundreds
of terraced houses were built around Moss Side
although some were later purchased by landlords
and rented out to tenants. Many Victorian and
Edwardian terraced houses were demolished in the
1960s to make way for dozens of blocks of low
and high rise council flats. Most of the crime
which made Moss Side one of the worst parts of
England involved people living in these flats.
But a large number of flats in Moss Side were
demolished in the 1990s to make way for new low
rise homes, while the remaining flats have been
renovated.

About Manchester
Manchester
is a city in the north-west of
England. The metropolitan borough of Manchester,
with a population of 422,302, lies at the heart
of a large conurbation called Greater
Manchester, with a population of 2,513,468.
Greater Manchester is also a
metropolitan county in England
established in 1974 which covers an area roughly
encompassing the conurbation of Manchester. It
is situated in North West England. It has borders
with the ceremonial counties of Cheshire (inc.
Warrington), Derbyshire, West Yorkshire, Lancashire
(inc. Blackburn with Darwen) and Merseyside. As
well as Manchester, the county includes major
centres such as Salford,
Bury, Bolton,
Stockport and Wigan.
Greater Manchester is not entirely built-up. Although
Manchester forms a conurbation along with Salford,
Trafford and Stockport,
other boroughs, such as Wigan
and Bury are clearly separate.
Towns in the
Manchester urban area include Salford,
Sale, Altrincham,
Cheadle, Stockport,
Ashton-under-Lyne,
and Oldham, Bury,
Rochdale, Stockport
and Stretford. Places
like Trafford and
Salford can be considered
part of the Manchester urban area in a way that
Wigan or Bolton
are not.
The term "Manchester" is often used
to refer to the entire conurbation, much as "London"
is usually used to mean Greater London, but many
of the constituent parts of Greater Manchester,
such as Salford, Wigan and Bolton, also have separate
identities. People from Manchester are called
Mancunians.
