About Openshaw
Openshaw is a suburb located approximately three miles east of Manchester city centre, within Greater Manchester. Originally part of Lancashire, it became part of Manchester in 1890. The name "Openshaw" is derived from the Old English term for "open wood" or "coppice," reflecting its historical landscape. This area's rich history and development make it a relevant focus for those researching planning applications in the region.
There are currently no active flood warnings for the Openshaw area, indicating a relatively low flood risk at present. This is a positive factor for both existing residents and those considering property purchases or new developments.
In terms of safety, there were no crimes reported in the immediate area during the most recent reporting period (May 2026). This makes Openshaw a particularly low-crime area, which is often reflected in its desirability and property values.
