Charlestown, Salford — Area Guide & Where to Stay
Charlestown is a North Manchester suburb and the Manchester City Council ward of the same name, taking in part of Blackley.
About Charlestown
Where to stay in Charlestown
Where you base yourself shapes the visit — here's the character of each area.
Hough Hall is the fixed point. Charlestown is residential ground in North Manchester, so the rooms stay in the city proper and a bed out this way means houses, the Church of St Peter at Blackley, and a run in for everything else. St Pauls stands on the same ward.
Blackley shares the boundary, which makes the two easy to treat as one base.
About Charlestown
What are the main landmarks in Charlestown?
Three names are listed here. Hough Hall heads the ward's register, with St Pauls and the Church of St Peter at Blackley completing a short list for a division that is mostly housing. Charlestown adds nothing else.
Whatever else a visitor wants belongs to Manchester rather than to this ward, which reads as suburb first and destination second.
What is the history of Charlestown?
The dates here are administrative. Charlestown appears in the record as an electoral division of Manchester City Council with a founding year of 1973, represented since 1971, which makes the ward younger than the suburb whose name it took. Hough Hall and the Church of St Peter carry what the sources list of the fabric across it and Blackley.
No earlier date is attached to Charlestown itself.
Where is Charlestown?
