North Manchester was, from 1896 to 1916 a civil parish within the Poor Law Union of Manchester, in Lancashire, (now Greater Manchester) England.[1] North Manchester was a local government sub-district used for the administration of Poor Law legislation; it was an inter-parish unit for social security.[1] Although abolished in 1916, the name North Manchester endured for the area, and is still applied to the northern parts of the city, for instance as a registration district up until 1974.
