From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Manchester is a city in Northwest England. The M16 postcode area is to the south of the city centre, and contains the area of Whalley Range. The postcode area contains 13 listed buildings that are recorded in the National Heritage List for England. Of these, one is listed at Grade II*, the middle grade of the three grades, and the others are at Grade II, the lowest grade.

The area, which is mainly residential, was developed in the middle of the 19th century, and at this time a number of educational buildings were also established.[1] The listed buildings consist of houses, churches, a bowling club pavilion, colleges and schools, some of which have changed their purposes since they were first established.
