Moston is a north‑east ward of Manchester that mixes stretches of Victorian terraced streets and post‑war council housing with pockets of newer residential development. It sits close to the M60 ring road and is traversed by the green corridor of Moston Brook, while Broadhurst Park provides a sizeable public open space and is home to the F.C. United of Manchester ground.
Historically the area expanded to house workers for nearby mills and light industry, and today it has a varied social and economic profile with active community groups, local shops and small businesses. There has been steady regeneration and a focus on improving amenities and greenspaces, making it a suburban neighbourhood with a strong local identity within greater Manchester.
