Origins
Hattersley is steeped in history, and the name dates back more than 900 years when the area was mainly farmland.
Hattersley was mentioned in William the Conqueror's Domesday Book, (1085-86) a census that recorded English landowners and their property at the time.
Local people take great pride in the name and its history.
1960s – 1990s
In the 1960s, Hattersley became the site for a brand new housing estate, built by Manchester City Council to re-house people from the housing clearance areas of east Manchester.
However, 30 years on, a journey round Hattersley revealed an area that had clearly suffered from the changing demand for social housing and under-investment in local services.
Regeneration in the area since the mid 1990s began a change in fortunes that has now led to the massive investment being secured which will see the area realise its huge potential.
