Not been to Levenshulme for 25 years. Any bit off Stockport Road is a little dodgy, but there's some really nice places further out and you'd be amazed how much the houses go for. Was very Irish-Heritage back then, but don't think that's the case anymore.

I lived in Cheetham Hill as a child in the late 70`s. It was filthy then and it`s filthy now. We left in early 80`s. Wouldn`t go back to live in Manchester, which is a shame cos after the bombing by the IRA in the 80`s, Manchester picked up, but only for a while. I`ve never understood why Andy Burnham (scouser) would be elected mayor for Manchester. What has he actually done for the city?

Outskirts of Manchester? Eh? What are you on about...the town centre, perhaps? Levenshulme is in South Manchester on the border of Stockport. You also only looked at North Lev which is pretty much Longsight (or Longistan as I call it, although we're heading the same way as is all of Manchester really!) The indoor market you mentioned is in Gorton, although there used to be a wanker magnet market (lefty hipsters 🙄) now and again - where you were walking behind Lev Station (the car park) with overpriced hippy crap. Diversity is our strength and all that bollocks.
