This article explores the household structure and life style of middle-class families who moved out of inner Manchester in the second half of the 19th century and settled in Burnage, a mainly rural area, south of the city centre. Using the 1881 and 1891 census enumerators’ books, directories, memoirs, records from the two churches in Burnage, and reports from their literary societies, it begins to investigate the hopes and ideals of the middle-class community there. It assesses the sense in which Burnage can be regarded as a ‘community’, relating this to issues raised in the more general literature on community such as Dennis and Daniels (1981) and to research on comparable localities
