The M14 postcode area is to the south of the city centre, and contains the areas of Fallowfield, Moss Side, and Rusholme.
The postcode area is largely residential, and most of the listed buildings are houses, or originated as houses, and were later converted into other uses.
Many of the large houses date from the middle and later part of the 19th century, and this reflects the commercial prosperity of the city at that time.
In the area are colleges and halls of residence for university students, and some of the large houses have been converted for these purposes.
The other listed buildings include churches, public houses and hotels, and a war memorial.
