Industry

There are currently two breweries in Moss Side. The Royal Brewery brewed Kestrel, McEwan's and Harp Lager but is now owned by Heineken for the production of Foster's Lager. Hydes Brewery brews traditional beers including Hydes' Bitter and the cask version of Boddingtons – the latter since the closure of the Strangeways Brewery in 2005. In January 2012, Hydes Brewery announced plans to move production to another site in the locality, later identified as being in Salford.

The northern England office of Aquatech Pressmain,which specialises in the 'supply of fluid pumping equipment to the Building Services, Process and Water Industries', is located in Moss Side.

The Bridgewater Hospital, on Princess Road, is a private hospital that provides a range of healthcare treatments.

Moss Side is near the University of Manchester, the Manchester Royal Infirmary, and further north the Manchester Metropolitan University. In 2009, Manchester Metropolitan University announced its plan to construct a new £120m campus at Birley Fields in nearby Hulme.

Famous quotes containing the word industry:

    “It is while we are young that the habit of industry is formed. If not then, it never is afterwards. The fortune of our lives therefore depends on employing well the short period of our youth.”
    —Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)

    “For almost seventy years the life insurance industry has been a smug sacred cow feeding the public a steady line of sacred bull.”
    —Ralph Nader (b. 1934)

    “My plan of instruction is extremely simple and limited. They learn, on week-days, such coarse works as may fit them for servants. I allow of no writing for the poor. My object is not to make fanatics, but to train up the lower classes in habits of industry and piety.”
    —Hannah More (1745–1833)
