A 17th century pub in Bury has gone on sale with an eye-watering price tag of £1 million. The Church Inn, in Birtle, understood to be one of the oldest in Greater Manchester, comes with four acres of stunning land, gardens and car parking.
The Manchester suburb where 'it feels like it's just on the brink and... could go one way or the other'
27.05.2023 - 07:39 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
Densely populated with students, Fallowfield is often described as 'transient' these days. But life in the south Manchester suburb wasn't always this way.
Before the bars, takeways and clubs catering for students opened, the high street was lined with bakeries, greengrocers and a gift shop. "We've seen a lot of changes," says Roz, a resident of more than 40 years. "It goes up and down."
When Roz moved into her home off Victoria Road in 1975, it was in a 'rotten state'. Like many properties in the area, it was a house in multiple occupation (HMO) – but back then, young professionals would live in these shared homes.

That all changed at the turn of the century when the number of landlords converting properties into student housing accelerated, she says. "It was just like dominoes," says another long-term resident of Clifton Avenue who asks not to be named.
"People started selling up. One family home of five changed to 19 rooms."
Earlier this year, a resident of Fallowfield Brow described his neighbourhood as a 'party-club-fested, drunken, drugged up conurbation' that is 'fit for no human life or existence'. Objecting to a new off licence in the area, Nick Roberts, who lives in Landcross Road, told town hall bosses in January that 90 pc of the properties in the seven streets on his estate are populated by students.
Manchester council had a policy in place preventing more bars, takeaways and off licences from opening late at night in a bid to curb issues of noise and litter in the neighbourhood which residents complain of. But the policy has expired now, leading to a spate of businesses trying to take advantage of the situation.
