History

Construction of the estate

Between 1894 and 1936 Hattersley was a civil parish in the Tintwistle Rural District of the administrative county of Cheshire. In 1936 it was annexed to the municipal borough of Hyde but remained undeveloped. In the 1960s most of the area was purchased by Manchester city council in order to build a large overspill estate. Another estate was built in nearby Gamesley. Both these estates are majorly council owned houses.

Renewal and privatisation

Hattersley is currently undergoing a period of regeneration coordinated by Hattersley Neighbourhood Partnership.
Manchester City Council transferred control of the majority of Hattersley's housing stock to Peak Valley Housing Association in 2006. This followed an earlier attempt to transfer to Harvest Housing Group which collapsed when it was identified that there was a £20 million gap in funding to refurbish the homes to new housing standards.
The successful transfer will bring a £40 million, seven-year improvement plan for existing housing. This is tied to a further estimated £140m investment to come from a private developer.

Selective demolition has already begun in the area to remove some of the obsolete housing leaving space for redevelopment and investment in education and public services. See [1] for more information.
One of the largest scale pieces of demolition undertaken in the area left a sour taste in the mouths of some residents, the majority of whom were older people. These few residents were left in a large area of timber framed housing for over a year as the negotiations were ongoing on the rehousing options on offer. As of today February 2006 only one resident is left living in these properties in an attempted to gain more for is property and to cause delay to much needed redevoplment.

Notoriety

The Moors Murderers Ian Brady and Myra Hindley were living on the estate at the time of their arrest in 1965, and are known to have killed at least two of their victims there. It is worth noting that these crimes sickened the people of Hattersley and to this day still hang over the area. Even after more than 40 years, visitors to the area will often drive past the site of the house to see where it existed. This article includes a list of works cited or a list of external links, but its sources remain unclear because it lacks in-text citations. ...

The crimes were committed at 16 Wardle Brook Avenue, a two-bedroom end of terrace council house. The house was later demolished as the local council could not find any tenants who were willing to live in it.

Culture and community

There is a strong sense of community spirit evident in the area which is evidenced through the large number of community and voluntary organisations active in the area.^{[neutrality disputed]}

Hattersley also has its own monthly community newspaper, the Hattersley & Mottram Community News, which is produced by local people.
