Collyhurst
[1] The quarry is disused and the area around it has been turned into a park called "Sandhills"[4] as part of Manchester City Council's Irk Valley Project.The oldest was St Oswald's on Rochdale Road in the Gothic of the 13th century, the architect was E.H. Shellard; the east end was spectacularly picturesque and there was a steeple designed by John Lowe.[citation needed] For a brief period in the mid-1970s, The Electric Circus, a run-down venue on Collyhurst Street, formerly the Palladium variety club, found itself at the centre of Manchester's punk rock scene.It played host to bands such as the Sex Pistols, The Jam, Joy Division, then known as Warsaw,[11] Buzzcocks, Slaughter and the Dogs and The Clash's "White Riot" tour before its closure in 1977.Lesser unknown bands have also come from the backstreets of Collyhurst notably; The Young Offenders Institute, Hoffa, Overcast, Morning Afterglow, M-40 and Ablekaned.
