Hello
After such a long time lapse, you may not want/need the information any more, but I thought I would give it a go.
I lived in Hulme from 1985 until 2004. I had 3 different addresses on Gretney Walk (the development known as Moss Side District Centre) and was living there when the City Challenge redevelopment was announced in 1989 (I think)
One of the guarantees to tenants of City Challenge was that tenants could have their choice of area to be decanted to, and they could either stay permanently in their 'decant' property or move back to a newly-built property when ready.
I stayed in Hulme for my decant, on the St Bees' estate behind the big brewery. I lived there from October 1992 - July 1994. I then moved back to a new property on Chichester Road (opposite the 'BBC estate')
I stayed in the Chichester Road house until January 2004. During that time Hulme changed out of all recognition as you can imagine.
If you want any further information you can ring me on 07778442660
Best wishes for your studies/work
