CrumpsallCrumpsall is a suburb some 3 miles to the north of Manchester, in Britain. It is divided into Higher and Lower Crumpsall, although Lower Crumpsall to the East in the valley of the river Irk is now a much reduced community following large amounts of enforced local authority demolition of the small terraced streets in the 1970s. The folk singer, Mike Harding, was brought up on Waterloo Street in Lower Crumpsall. Higher Crumpsall is largely composed of houses and schools with little commerce or industry. It is also the location of a large hospital now known as North Manchester General Hospital. This was previously 3 hospitals: Crumpsall Hospital, Spingfield Hospital and Delauneys Hospital. The houses are largely Victorian in age ranging through Edwardian villas to more recent twentieth century houses.
