About Crumpsall
Where to stay in Crumpsall
Each area has its own feel; here's who each one suits.
Beds cluster nearer the centre than this. Crumpsall's case for a stay is the hospital run and the ward's position among Cheetham Hill, Blackley, Harpurhey, Broughton and Prestwich, which puts five neighbouring districts within a short drive of one address. North Manchester General Hospital anchors that.
Church buildings give the older texture, at the Church of St Matthew with St Mary, Trinity United Church and St Mary's Ukrainian Catholic Church, while Waterpark Hall and the Murray Monument fill out the short roster of built landmarks to walk to.
About Crumpsall
What are the main landmarks in Crumpsall?
Five buildings hold the register. The Church of St Matthew with St Mary, Trinity United Church and St Mary's Ukrainian Catholic Church cover three congregations in one Manchester ward. Waterpark Hall stands apart from them.

What is the history of Crumpsall?
The township predates the city ward. Crumpsall was a township in the parish of Manchester, within Salford hundred, and belonged historically to Lancashire before Greater Manchester took shape around it. Boundaries did the rest.
It now reads as an outer suburb and electoral ward, bordered by Cheetham Hill, Blackley, Harpurhey, Broughton and Prestwich, with the Church of St Matthew with St Mary and Waterpark Hall among the buildings the register still names.
Where is Crumpsall?
