of Manchester with so much to offer

Roots in the past,
home for today
Back in the 1800s, New Cross bustled with traders, travellers and local printers. Among the printers’ popular outputs were Penny Broadsides: single-sheet newspapers printed in catchy rhyme or verse and sold for just a penny (a sort of TikTok but for two centuries ago). Their informal and inclusive approach to sharing information was integral to the area’s identity and, as you probably spotted, inspired our own name.
