As Manchester expanded, each main road out of the city developed its own unique character. Collyhurst and its neighbour was very much a place of habitation rather than business which, in turn , led to a large number of churches, schools, pubs, cinemas, and even theatres along Rochdale Road. What it lacked in grand buildings it made up for in a wealth of characters and institutions which became well-known throughout the city.
