Appleby Lodge

Appleby Lodge is a set of three-story 1930s blocks of flats with eight entrance doors, opposite Platt Fields Park on Wilmslow Road in Rusholme, Manchester, England.

The buildings consist of a group of three main blocks of flats in the Moderne style arranged around a central garden.

At intervals are flat-roofed porches, and above them are recessed stair towers with full-height small-paned windows.

[1] Residents have included the architect Peter Cummings[7] and Sir John Barbirolli, conductor of the Hallé Orchestra, from 1943 to 1963, commemorated with a blue plaque.

The buildings have been described by the architectural historian Elain Harwood of Historic England as an "urban oasis".
