Clayton is a district of Manchester, England. It is about three miles east of the city centre on the Ashton New Road. Clayton Vale, through which the River Medlock flows, separates Clayton from neighbouring Newton Heath. Clayton was home to Manchester United FC after they moved from Newton Heath and before moving to their present ground in Old Trafford.
After a period of general decline from around the mid to late 80s to around 2004, Clayton residents have since seen some improvements along its main routes, both in terms of housing repairs/modernisation and road reconstructions. There is also a Government New Deal for East Manchester scheme in operation.
However, the town of Clayton is still generally considered to be a deprived area; with a high degree of unemployment & crime.
