Ringway is a civil parish in the extreme south of the City of Manchester in Greater Manchester, England.[1]
It is the only civil parish in the city of Manchester, and was brought into the city in 1974 to bring the majority of the terminal and hangar areas of Manchester Airport (previously known as Manchester (Ringway) Airport, built during 1935/38, and the location of RAF Ringway) within the city boundaries. It had previously been in the Bucklow Rural District of Cheshire. According to the 2001 census it had a population of 106.[2]
[edit] History
The name seems to come from the Anglo-Saxon Hringhæg = "circular or enclosing hedge(d enclosure)".[3]
Ringway became a separate parish from that of Bowdon in 1863.[3]
