}}Harpurhey is an inner-city area of Manchester in North West England, three miles north east of the city centre. The population at the 2011 census was 17,652.[1]

Areas of Harpurhey include Kingsbridge Estate, Barnes Green, Shiredale Estate and Baywood Estate.

History

Harpurhey is recorded in 1320 as "Harpourhey", meaning "hedged enclosure by a man called Harpour", who owned the area in the 14th century.[2]

This small township, at one time called Harpurhey with Gotherswick,[3] lies on both sides of the road from Manchester to Middleton, extending westward to the Irk. In 1830 it was described as abounding in pleasant views.[3] It has long been a suburb of Manchester.

Governance

Harpurhey was included in the Parliamentary borough of Manchester from its creation but was not taken into the municipal borough until 1885. It ceased to be a township in 1896, becoming part of the new township of North Manchester.[4]

Harpurhey is within the Blackley and Broughton constituency, which has been represented in the House of Commons by Labour MP Graham Stringer since 2010. Harpurhey is one of the most economically deprived areas within the Greater Manchester area.

Councillors

The ward is represented on Manchester City Council by three Labour Party councillors:

Landmarks

The Edwardian swimming baths on Rochdale Road was built between 1909-10 by Henry Price, Manchester's first City Architect. Listed grade II in 1994, the baths closed to the public in 2001 after serious defects were discovered.[8] The women's pool hall and laundry have now been replaced by the MANCAT sixth form college and community library.

The World Famous Embassy Club on Rochdale Road was bought by Bernard Manning in 1959, before which it had been Harpurhey Temperance Billiard Hall.[9]

Queen's Park was one of Britains first municipal parks in 1846; designed and laid out by Joshua Major in 1845, the park was originally arranged around Hendham Hall, home of the Houghton family, which was demolished in 1884. The park incorporated a labyrinth, sheds and greenhouses, but by 1930 these had been removed.[10] Today the park has a children's play area, rose gardens and hosts a variety of community events.[11]
