Green Quarter
Area of Manchester, England
The Green Quarter is an area of Manchester, England, just north of the city centre between Cheetham, Strangeways and the River Irk.
From the mid-nineteenth century, the area, then known as Red Bank,[1] was a slum housing impoverished Jewish immigrants from Eastern Europe, but is now home to digital start-ups and e-commerce businesses, new apartments, microbreweries, gin distilleries and restaurants.[2]
