Welcome to Strangeways

Strangeways is a district located in the north of Manchester city centre. It is known for its infamous prison, HM Prison Manchester, which is commonly referred to as Strangeways. The prison was built in 1868 and has a capacity of over 1,200 inmates. It has been the site of several riots and protests over the years, including the 1990 Strangeways Prison riot, which lasted for 25 days and resulted in the death of two inmates. Despite its notoriety, Strangeways is also home to a vibrant community of residents and businesses.

In addition to the prison, Strangeways is also home to several notable landmarks and attractions. One of the most popular is the Manchester Jewish Museum, which is housed in a former synagogue and tells the story of Jewish life in Manchester. The district is also home to the Manchester Fort Shopping Park, which features a range of high street stores and restaurants. For those interested in history, the Strangeways Research Laboratory is a must-visit. The laboratory was established in 1895 and played a key role in the development of modern medicine.

Despite its reputation as a tough and gritty area, Strangeways is also home to a thriving arts and culture scene. The district is home to several galleries and studios, including the Rogue Artists' Studios, which is one of the largest artist-led studios in the UK. The area is also home to several music venues, including the legendary Band on the Wall, which has hosted some of the biggest names in music over the years. With its mix of history, culture, and community, Strangeways is a unique and fascinating part of Greater Manchester.
