Hattersley history
Construction of the estate
Between 1894 and 1936 Hattersley was a largely rural civil parish in the Tintwistle Rural District in the historical county of Cheshire. In 1936, it was annexed to the municipal borough of Hyde but remained undeveloped. At the beginning of the 1960s, most of the area was purchased by Manchester City Council to build a large overspill estate.
Renewal and privatisation
The city council transferred control of most of Hattersley’s housing stock to Peak Valley Housing Association in 2006. An attempt to transfer it to Harvest Housing Group collapsed when a £20 million gap in funding was identified. Selective demolition has begun to remove some obsolete housing leaving space for redevelopment and investment in education and public services.
Moors Murders
Myra Hindley and her grandmother Ellen Maybury were rehoused in Hattersley from Gorton in 1964. They lived at a new council house in the area for approximately 12 months until they were arrested in October 1965. Together they carried out the killings of Lesley Ann Downey and Edward Evans at the house. In 1987, Manchester City Council demolished the house as they could not find tenants willing to live there.
Dale Cregan
Police Constables Nicola Hughes, 23, and Fiona Bone, 32, were ambushed by Dale Cregan. Both officers were hit by at least eight bullets as Cregan fired 32 shots in 31 seconds. Cregan later turned himself in at Hyde police station and was charged with their murders.
