Davyhulme
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Davyhulme is a suburb of Trafford, in Greater Manchester, England. Historically part of Lancashire
Often mentioned in conjunction with neighbouring Urmston, it is considered by some to be one of the more affluent suburbs of west Manchester. Susan Sargeson from the Halifax Bank said: "It's quite a nice place, it used to be a village but it has got slowly bigger and bigger." The nearby Trafford Centre has added a lot of value to the area, as has the ongoing re-development of Urmston town centre.
Politically it is divided into Davyhulme East and Davyhulme West electoral wards although a proportion of Urmston is included in Davyhulme East and some of the neighbouring locality of Flixton is included within Davyhulme West.
It is in the parliamentary constituency of Stretford and Urmston but until the 1997 general election it gave its name to the Davyhulme constituency.
