Withington

Neighbouring Didsbury, Fallowfield and Chorlton, Withington has still managed to form an identity of its own. As in Fallowfield, its population is boosted by thousands of students during term time. But they are less dominant and the area has a quieter, more relaxed feel. Pubs such as the Red Lion, bars like Fuel and the Carnegie library are among the area's most notable landmarks. Ladybarn, a suburban area nestled between Fallowfield and Withington which retains its cobbled streets, forms part of the latter ward.
