History
Etymology
Rusholme, unlike other areas of Manchester which have '-holme' in the place name is not a true '-holme'. Toponymy refers to the scientific study of place-names ( toponyms) their origins meanings use and Typology. Its name came from ryscum, which is the dative plural of Old English rysc "rush": "[at the] rushes". Juncus is a genus in the plant family Juncaceae. It consists of 225 to 300 species of grassy plants commonly called rushes. The name was recorded as Russum in 1235.
However, the suggestion of 'holme' in the name is appropriate, as the area is in low-lying land, close to areas like Hulme. Hulme is an Inner city area and electoral ward of the City of Manchester, in North West England.
Social history
Over the Victorian era, there were several different socio-political meanings of Rusholme. Culture The Victorian fascination with novelty resulted in a deep interest in the relationship between modernity and cultural continuities Primarily, it was a township based around a general area known as Rusholme since at least the thirteenth century. The area grew into a township, and by the beginning of the nineteenth century, it had its own government responsible for public health, roads, policing, poor relief, and other local government tasks. That Rusholme was originally a politically autonomous entity was vital to its self-conception as a discrete area even after it lost almost all political self-control upon incorporation into Manchester. The low-cost terraced housing built between 1880 and 1930 dominates the landscape, along with a sprawling council housing estate erected in the interwar era.
