Greenheys is an inner-city area of south Manchester, England, between Hulme to the north and west, Chorlton-on-Medlock to the east and Moss Side to the south.
Elizabeth Gaskell's first novel, Mary Barton, published in 1848, opens with a description of Greenheys, then still a rural area on the outskirts of the city.[1][2] The writer Thomas De Quincey and pioneer socialist Robert Owen both lived at Greenheys House, overlooking the now culverted Cornbrook river.[3]
Manchester Science Park is located here, on Pencroft Way, Lloyd Street North.[4]
