HULME HISTORY
Historically, Hulme has seen a great many changes to its urban pattern, specifically surrounding the controversial ‘crescents’. The demolition of the crescents allowed for the construction of major vehicular routes, serving as the main commuter roads into Manchester city centre from the south, to literally slice through the centre of Hulme, which is a serious physical barrier for both vehicles and pedestrians attempting to travel around local area.
