Ringway is a civil parish on the southern border 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)[2] within the city boundaries. The parish had previously been in the Bucklow Rural District of Cheshire. According to the 2001 census it had a population of 106.[3]

History

The name appears to come from the Old English (Anglo-Saxon) Hringhæg meaning "circular or enclosing hedged enclosure".[4]

Ullerwood Castle is in Ringway;[5] it is a shell keep dating to at least 1173 and was owned by Hamon de Massey.[6]

Ringway became a separate parish from that of Bowdon in 1863.[4]

Economy

Prior to its dissolution, British Airways regional affiliate BA Connect (originally BA Citiexpress) was headquartered on the grounds of the airport in Ringway.[7]
