Welcome to Baguley Life Manchester
Baguley is a locality in Wythenshawe, and an electoral ward of the city of Manchester in North West England. Historically within Cheshire, the town is mentioned as Bagelei in the Domesday Book of 1086.[citation needed]
Most of Baguley was developed for housing after World War II as part of the Wythenshawe Estate, including many council houses and later tower blocks; Manchester City Council publications refer to Baguley as "one of Europe's biggest housing estates".[1] However, much of the social housing has been sold off under the "Right To Buy" scheme and there are also several private housing developments in the area; and parkland was provided from the start under the development plan.[1]
Baguley was a township of Bowdon, one of the ancient parishes of the Bucklow Hundred of Cheshire. Under the Poor Law Amendment Act 1886 the township became a civil parish in its own right. In 1931 Manchester extended its boundaries south of the Mersey in to form Wythenshawe; Baguley was incorporated into the civil parish and city of Manchester, along with neighbouring Northenden and Northen Etchells.[2][3]
Baguley is covered by the South Manchester Division of Greater Manchester Police and is
covered by the Northenden Neighbourhood Policing Team.
