Radcliffe East is the eastern ward of Radcliffe within the Metropolitan Borough of Bury in Greater Manchester. It’s largely residential, a mix of Victorian terraces and post‑war housing clustered around the town centre and the banks of the River Irwell, with convenient Metrolink links into central Manchester.
Its character reflects the area's industrial past - former textile mills and riverside workshops have been repurposed alongside small independent shops, a continuing market tradition and local community centres. Historic touches such as Radcliffe Tower sit close by, while ongoing regeneration and good transport make it a diverse, commuter‑friendly neighbourhood with easy access to nearby green space.
