Hulme Stage 5 was part of the wider redevelopment of the Hulme area of Manchester in the 1960s. Stage 5 (Rolls Crescent), also known as The Crescents, was built in 1967. Stage 5 contained four 7 storey deck access crescent blocks containing 918 flats. The four crescents were called Robert Adam Crescent, Charles Barry Crescent, William Kent Crescent and John Nash Crescent. They were demolished around 1994 by Hulme City Challenge and were replaced by traditionally built homes.
