Abstract:		 The site was, prior to the early 19th century, undeveloped farmland associated with the township of Hulme. As part of the rapid expansion of the city during the early part of the 19th century it was quickly developed. A workhouse for 300 inmates was constructed in 1840; occupying the southern half of the site, it was known as the Chorlton Union Workhouse, To the north were several streets of terraced houses laid out in a grid pattern common in Manchester. By the 1850s the workhouse was considered inadequate for the needs of the local population and a replacement was built at Withington. The former workhouse was demolished in 1857. However, the site did not remain vacant for long and the Leaf Street Baths were constructed in 1860, occupying the central portion of the Leaf Street frontage. Designed by the architect Thomas Worthington, they were of Italianate design. A terrace was built along the Stretford Road frontage, the ground floors all functioning as shops. Much of the immediate area was badly bomb-damaged during the Second World War, with almost all the terraces in the northern part of the site destroyed and damaged. The baths also suffered heavy damage and only the northern half was restored in the 1950s. The baths were the only remaining building left on site by the 1970s and in 1976 these too were demolished. The site has undeveloped since.
