  • Manchester Urban Historic Landscape Characterisation Section 7
    7 Manchester’s Historic Character – Analysis and Recommendations 7.1 Unenclosed land broad type Figure 4 The area of the former Shadow Moss is indicated by the distinctive field boundary patterns depicted on OS 6” 1 st edition mapping of c1882 Description This character type comprises areas that are currently of low economic value and where there is little or no settlement. It includes marginal land such as open mossland and marsh, and other unimproved land which may nonetheless be exploited, such as common land, pasture and moorland. Unenclosed land only occurs in Manchester district as a previous type. 7.1.1 Open moorland Description and historical context Moorland does not exist as a current type within the Manchester landscape; it appears as a previous type only in the Baguley Moor area. Some areas of the former moorland have not been developed and although their character has changed, they may still contain palaeoenvironmental and archaeological evidence. 27 For example, the playing fields associated with Brookway High School (HLC Ref HGM13548) and the playing fields east of Church Stoke Walk (HLC Ref HGM13842) have both been enclosed from farmland that was formerly moorland. 7.1.2 Mossland Description and historical context Although there is no surviving untouched mossland in Manchester, there were several mosses in the district in the past. Mossland has thus been recorded as a previous rather than a current character type. Like the upland moors, the former lowland mosses were probably enclosed at a relatively late date. The three main former mosses in Manchester are Hough Moss in the area which is now Moss Side and Whalley Range; Shadow Moss, near Moss Nook and Manchester Airport in the south of the district; and White Moss, near Charlestown in the northern part of the district.

There is now a much wider focus on the historic dimension of our surroundings as a whole, which is often referred to as the ‘historic environment’ or ‘historic landscape’. This shift has coincided with a wider appreciation of the social importance of landscape (urban as well as rural) in general, and of its proper management and protection.

Some of the people I spoke to had had no idea that their area had featured in our contents, e.g. the Ancoats campaign to save the Dispensary, the Ardwick project aimed at cultivating a strong sense of identity in the community, and the struggle to save the Levenshulme Carnegie Library from closure. A few did belong - one had been to our event at Haigh Hall. Right next to our stand was the Clayton Hall stand, and the ladies manning it were delighted to see the report and photographs of the Lancashire & Cheshire Antiquarian Society's visit to the Hall taken from our last issue.

  • Mapping the Rise and Fall of Ancoats Hall Brian Robson School of Environment, Education & Development, University of Manchester Email: [email protected]
    ISSN 1476-1580 North West Geography Volume 18, Number 2, 2018 North West Geography, Volume 18, 2018 18 Mapping the Rise and Fall of Ancoats Hall Brian Robson School of Environment, Education & Development, University of Manchester Email: [email protected] Abstract A sequence of maps focused on Ancoats Hall is used to chart the fluctuating fortunes of the hall. It had been a 17th century building built by the Mosley family, sited in a rural setting facing the River Medlock. Replaced with a new building in the early 1820s by the textile magnate George Murray, the hall was rapidly engulfed by the industrial expansion of Ancoats leaving it hemmed into grim industrial surroundings. In the 20th century, the local philanthropist Thomas Horsfall used it as an art museum which aimed to enrich the lives of the poor, and it was joined by the first university settlement outside London which used both the hall and the nearby Round House to provide accommodation for activities that brought together local residents with university staff and students. Both buildings have now been demolished. Their legacy is the array of maps and plans that plot the hall’s history. Keywords Manchester maps, Ancoats, Mosley, Midland Railway, Horsfall, University Settlement Of the many medieval and post-medieval halls that once lived in Clayton Hall, a building which itself embodies existed in Manchester few can be more redolent of the significant Manchester history since it was sold in 1620 history of the city than Ancoats Hall. It is associated with to George and Humphrey Chetham, the latter being the many of the individuals, the institutions and the buildings founder of Chetham’s School and Library.

  • Discovering History and Conservation in Didsbury: East Didsbury, Didsbury St
    Exploring Greater Manchester a fieldwork guide Edited by Cathy Delaney Exploring Greater Manchester 23 Discovering history and conservation in Didsbury: East Didsbury, Didsbury St. James Conservation Area Ian Douglas, Maureen Douglas and Nigel Lawson School of Environment, Education and Development, The University of Manchester [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected] Aims: This walk uses the evidence of the built environment and urban greenspaces to illuminate cultural, demographic, economic and social changes over time. Didsbury village has long been regarded as a highly desirable residential suburb, but its last 150 years have been dominated by the influence of two major institutions, the former educational training college and the Shirley Institute, whose sites have been redeveloped since 1990. Today Didsbury has an exuberant, dynamic openness which surpasses that found in many of the other affluent suburbs in the deep south of Greater Manchester. The walk examines the key features of the Conservation area, particularly its listed buildings, and recent changes to it. It reveals the vestiges of the original hamlet; the late Victorian splendour of the homes of key entrepreneurs and civic leaders; the influence of the coming of railways; the important key open spaces that provide varied wildlife habitats and recreational opportunities; and the early twenty-first transformation of the village centre and the sites of former institutions. Starting point: Didsbury Village Metrolink Station. (This is also the starting point for the walk covering West Didsbury and Albert Park which is also in the Exploring Greater Manchester series). Estimated Time: 2 hours Further information: This walk is based on the pre-COVID-19 situation.
