Baguley is a locality and electoral ward in Wythenshawe, in the City of Manchester, England.

Most of Baguley consists of council housing, though much of the housing stock has been sold off under the "Right To Buy" scheme. There are also several newer private housing developments in the area. Baguley also has an industrial area where various factories and businesses have been situated. In recent years, a large Tesco superstore and a Habitat store have opened on the site.

Railway

Baguley railway station was opened on 1 February 1866 and closed on 30 November 1964 during the 'Beeching Axe'. Baguley Station was mostly served by local trains operating from Stockport Tiviot Dale to and from Liverpool Central with many workings going only as far as Warrington Central. From the very beginning express services to all parts of the country passed through the station. This increased further when the 'Liverpool Curve' opened 64 chains to the east of the Cheadle Station in 1902. This provided direct access to the Midland Railways main line to London.

Today the section of line through Baguley is still open for passenger services running between Manchester, Stockport and Chester via Northwich and for a variety of goods services. There is a proposal to reopen Baguley as an interchange station for Manchester Metrolink if the extension to Wythenshawe is built, reintroducing an intermediate stop on this line for the first time in many years.Fact|date=December 2007

Baguley Hall, Wythenshawe, Greater Manchester, Early 14th century timber-framed house. Original arched doorways. Timber braces in the form of St. Andrew's crosses. Some say the bracing is more Norse, like a boat upside down. It was said to be the ancestral home of some of the Baguley family. http://www.britainexpress.com/Where_to_go_in_Britain/Manors/manors1.htmhttp://www.one-name.org/profiles/baggarley.html
