I have been here before recording the history of Manchester City FC on this site.
A football stadium surrounds by railways, roads, homes and industry.


The area is now much changed, though the railways and roads remain, the homes are in a state of flux.

The Gateway to the Simple Life is here.
Situated in Ardwick, one mile outside of Manchester’s vibrant city centre, The Gateway is a distinctive development offering a collection of homes and apartments to rent.
Enjoy living in the prime location of Manchester’s bustling city centre, where there is a vast range of employment opportunities, cafes, bars and restaurants. All year round, you can benefit from various fun days out with events and activities available on your doorstep.







In addition to the apartments there is a mixed development of terraced, detached and semi-detached homes.


We pride ourselves on building places you can call your forever home, knowing it won’t be sold from beneath your feet. We offer renters a whole new experience which brings together the best of both worlds – all the perks of a private rental with the added excitement for customers at the start of a development to choose their own plot and watch it being built.
With home ownership becoming unaffordable for some and an unappealing lifestyle choice for others, we meet the need for a high quality home which still feels secure in the long term.




































Oh dear. Cars parked on pavements. Hmmm.

It’s endemic, the majority of homes here have space for one car on the drive, but occupants often have more than one car. Plus there are still contractors on site who will park on pavements, I don’t know what the answer is – but it’s a real problem for pedestrians, prams, wheelchairs and such.
