Hulme and Moss Side, to the west of the area, contain mainly industrial and residential buildings. The industrial buildings that have
survived and are listed include a floodgate, canal offices, a former canal warehouse, a canal, a brewery, a former cotton mill, and a
flour mill. Elsewhere are houses, churches and associated buildings, a former public house, a railway bridge, a boundary stone, and
two former theatres. In Chorlton-on-Medlock most of the listed buildings are university buildings, although many have been altered
from their original purposes.This part of the area also includes a church and an art gallery
