About Ancoats and Ancoats Plus

Elnecot has existed since 1212, later taking the name Ancoats that we now know it by around 1320. The district has had its fair share of ups and downs, the most recent of which resulted from the failed bids to host the 1996 and 2000 Olympics when a lot of new buildings were abandoned.

It played an enormous part in the Industrial Revolution and by 1815 was the most densely populated part of Manchester. Industries such as cotton, glass and foundries coexisted and by the middle of the 19th century the population was largely Italian or Irish. Later, Avro Aviation set up business.

Happily Ancoats is now most definitely in the ascendant, as several major building programmes and the urban regeneration schemes currently underway confirm. It does still retain a sense of community and identity though, and with several older buildings that survive (for example the houses on George Leigh Street and Anita Street or the huge apartment block that’s now known as Victoria Square), it also has a vibrant mix of the old and the new. Cutting Room Square being just one example.

The Ancoats+ Card was created to build on this and it provides discounts in the various local bars, cafés, restaurants and shops.
