Manchester Mayfield is a former railway station in Manchester, England, on the south side of Fairfield Street next to Manchester Piccadilly station. Opened in 1910, Mayfield was constructed as a four-platform relief station adjacent to Piccadilly to alleviate overcrowding. In 1960, the station was closed to passengers and, in 1986, it was permanently closed to all services having seen further use as a parcels depot. After years of abandonment and many proposed development schemes, the station roof was dismantled in February 2013. The site was used for Manchester International Festival in July 2013.Manchester Mayfield railway station and the surrounding 6.2-acre (25,000 m2) site is the property of London and Continental Railways, the residual government-owned corporation and former partner in Eurostar International.

St Saviour's Church on the corner of Plymouth Grove and Upper Brook Street, Chorlton on Medlock, Manchester, was an Anglican parish church. Construction began in 1835, with the estimated £6000 cost being met by public subscription. It was consecrated on 11 November 1836. The primary benefactor for the construction was Scholes Birch, whose son, Edward, became the first rector. The foundation stone was laid on 2 July 1835.In May 1868, a part of the parish of St Saviour's was assigned to the church of St John Chrysostom, Rusholme. A further change came in December 1955 when some of the parish was exchanged with St Thomas's, Ardwick, and another reorganisation in July 1967 saw some of it was assigned to St Ambrose, Chorlton upon Medlock. In June 1971, what remained of the parish joined with that of St Paul with St Luke as Christ Church, Brunswick.The original church building was demolished after a final service on 28 August 1960. Services were thereafter held in temporary location until 1964. The plan had been to construct a new building, and indeed a foundation stone was laid in May 1963 and dedication mass held on 21 March 1964 when completed, but because of a lack of parishioners due to Council wholesale clearance of local housing, the parish joined Christ Church, on Brunswick Street in 1974 (actually the building was constructed and photos are extent of it in the city archives).

Miles Platting and Newton Heath is an electoral ward in the city of Manchester, North West England which covers the districts of Miles Platting and Newton Heath. The population of this ward at the 2011 census was 14,693.

Ardwick is a district of Manchester in North West England, one mile south east of the city centre. The population of the Ardwick Ward at the 2011 census was 19,250.Historically in Lancashire, by the mid-nineteenth century Ardwick had grown from being a village into a pleasant and wealthy suburb of Manchester, but by the end of that century it had become heavily industrialised. When its industries later fell into decline then so did Ardwick itself, becoming one of the city's most deprived areas. Substantial development has taken place more recently in Ardwick and other areas of Manchester to reverse the decline, notably the construction of many facilities for the 2002 Commonwealth Games held nearby at the City of Manchester Stadium. In the late nineteenth century Ardwick had many places of entertainment, but the only remnant of that history today is the Art Deco-style Manchester Apollo, a venue for pop and rock music concerts.

The Maths and Social Sciences Building is a high-rise tower in Manchester, England. It was part of the University of Manchester Institute of Science and Technology (UMIST) until that university merged with the Victoria University of Manchester, to form the University of Manchester, in 2004. It was vacated by the university in 2010 but is currently in use by the School of Materials while waiting for a new building to be constructed. The MSS Building was built in 1969, as part of the UMIST campus. Constructed from reinforced concrete and designed by architects Cruikshank and Seward, it has fifteen stories and an overall height of 50 metres (160 ft), making it the tallest building on the former UMIST campus. Unlike many examples of Brutalist architecture on university campuses of that period, the building deviates from a purely cuboid outline with decorative towers at either end (now used as convenient locations for mobile phone antennae) and the floors up to the 10th being larger, which also breaks up the outline. The building was used largely for staff offices, with some teaching rooms. The 10th to 14th floors (called floors M–Q) accommodated the Department of Mathematics. The University of Manchester Regional Computer Centre (UMRCC) was based on J floor. The "Social Sciences" in the building's name indicates that the building once housed the Management Department, but in recent years the Department of Computation occupied the lower floors of the building. They were to become the School of Informatics in the new university and have since been split between the Schools of Computer Science and Manchester Business School. A two-floor annex to the MSS building connected to the ground floor houses tiered lecture theatres. It was built on the site of cramped terraced housing that accommodated factory workers that was studied by Friedrich Engels in his book The Condition of the Working Class in England in 1844. The new, merged University of Manchester announced in June 2007 that it plans to sell the Mathematics and Social Sciences Building. In July 2007, School of Mathematics relocated from MSS as well from the Ferranti building and the temporary buildings Newman and Lamb, to the new purpose-designed Alan Turing Building. Later in 2007, the staff of the former School of Informatics relocated, some of them to the Lamb building vacated by the mathematicians. As of 2015, the building houses the Materials Science department, recently relocated from the old Materials Science Building, awaiting demolition.
