It is East of the Ring Road, North of Austhorpe Road and South of Barwick Road.[1][2] The area falls within the Cross Gates and Whinmoor ward of Leeds Metropolitan Council. It is named after the former Manston estate of the Gascoigne family.[3] Many streets in the area are named after Manston, such as Manston Crescent and Manston Grove. Manston Grove serves as a through-route from the north of Manston and places beyond, including Seacroft, to Cross Gates Shopping Centre and Cross Gates Railway Station. It contains Barnbow, the site of a munitions factory in both World Wars, and now a scheduled monument.[4] It has its own park, Manston Park. Manston Park is a well-used local park on Austhorpe Road, and contains a memorial to those killed in an explosion at Barnbow munitions factory. The area had a pub named after it, the Manston hotel, which is now known as The Barnbow, next to the park. It has a Parish Church, St James the Great,[5] and is also home to three primary schools, Manston Primary, Manston St James Primary Academy and St Theresa's Catholic Primary.
