Where to stay in Cheetham Hill
Where visitors usually base themselves, and why.
The city centre is 1.4 miles off. Cheetham Hill puts the Manchester Jewish Museum, the Museum of Transport, Greater Manchester and the Queens Park Art Gallery inside one ward, a concentration that gives a stay here its own itinerary without a journey into town. The River Irk runs along one side, with Salford close by, and Crumpsall, Broughton, Harpurhey, Piccadilly and Deansgate ring the rest.
Churches fill the gaps, from the Church of St John the Evangelist, Cheetham Hill to the Church of St Alban and The Saviour.

About Cheetham Hill
What are the main landmarks in Cheetham Hill?
Two museums lead. The Manchester Jewish Museum keeps the record of the district's Jewish community, and the Museum of Transport, Greater Manchester holds the vehicles of the wider conurbation. Churches take the rest of the register.
The Church of St John the Evangelist, Cheetham Hill, the Church of St Alban, The Saviour and St James' Church, Higher Broughton stand alongside the Queens Park Art Gallery.
What is the history of Cheetham Hill?
Cheetham is the name on the record. The ward is written as Cheetham in Manchester's electoral arrangements while the district is known as Cheetham Hill, and the two names carry the same ground on the west bank of the River Irk. Salford lies close.
Boundaries with Crumpsall, Broughton, Harpurhey, Piccadilly and Deansgate fix the ward on every side, and the Manchester Jewish Museum, the Church of St John the Evangelist, Cheetham Hill and The Saviour carry what the built record preserves.
Where is Cheetham Hill?
The River Irk marks one flank of Cheetham Hill, with Salford near the boundary and Crumpsall, Broughton, Harpurhey, Piccadilly and Deansgate around it.
