Bradford-with-Beswick

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Bradford-with-Beswick is a collective term for the adjacent areas of Bradford and Beswick in the city of Manchester, England. The name, Bradford-with-Beswick, appears to have been coined by Christ Church, which was the 19th century church that served the communities of these growing villages to the east of Manchester. Christ Church lay on the corner of Church Street and Cowper Street on the boundary between the two villages and it seems reasonable that the church authorities should use this name to describe them.
