Miles Platting is a district of the City of Manchester, in North West England, located approximately one mile east of Manchester City Centre. It lies along the A62 Oldham Road, its boundaries being marked by that road to the north, Hulme Hall Lane to the east, and Bradford Road with Ancoats Urban Village and New Islington to the south and west, comprising an area of 116 hectares. The area, once recognised as being amongst the most deprived in the UK, has benefited greatly from the very substantial urban regeneration scheme for east Manchester initiated in the late 1990s.
