Blackley Village

Your Blackley in Bloom Once a rural village to the north of Manchester, it became part of the city's urban spread during mass house building in the 1930s.

Once a hub of the fledgling chemicals industry, Blackley also boasts some of the most popular green spaces in Manchester including Heaton Park, Blackley Forest and Boggart Hole Clough. Until 2010 the area had its own parliamentary constituency named after it but it is now part of the Blackley and Broughton seat.
