Welcome to Miles Platting

Miles Platting is a small, inner-city area located in the east of Manchester. It is bordered by the River Medlock to the south and the Rochdale Canal to the north. Historically, Miles Platting was a hub for the textile industry, with many mills and factories located in the area. Today, the area is predominantly residential, with a mix of social housing and privately owned properties. Miles Platting is well connected to the rest of Manchester, with several bus routes and a tram stop located nearby.

Despite its small size, Miles Platting has a rich cultural history. The area is home to several community groups and organisations, including the Miles Platting Community Forum and the Miles Platting and Newton Heath Heritage Trail. The heritage trail takes visitors on a journey through the area's industrial past, with stops at former mills and factories. Miles Platting is also home to several green spaces, including the Medlock Valley and Philips Park. These areas provide a welcome respite from the hustle and bustle of the city and are popular with local residents.

Miles Platting is a diverse and vibrant area, with a strong sense of community. Despite facing challenges such as poverty and deprivation, the area has a rich cultural heritage and a strong community spirit. With its excellent transport links and proximity to the city centre, Miles Platting is an attractive location for those looking for affordable housing in a central location. Whether you're interested in history, culture, or simply want to enjoy the great outdoors, Miles Platting has something to offer everyone.
