Longsight Mosque

The seed name "Central Jamia Mosque Longsight / Jamia Masjid" most closely corresponds to a mosque listed in UK mosque directories as the "Jamia Islamia & Central Mosque," recorded at 118 South Street, Longsight, Manchester M12 4DT, with a contact number of 0161 273 2422. It is listed as a Sunni mosque in the Deobandi tradition. No exact-name "Central Jamia Mosque" entity could be confirmed from an authoritative independent source, and no official website, social-media page, or Charity Commission registration was found for this specific listing.

Available directory listings (mosquedirectory.co.uk and masjidway.com) describe a smaller community masjid, and note that a new or larger building was planned at a nearby Stockport Road address (one listing gives a future postcode of M13 0RZ). The masjidway listing records men's WC and ablution (wudu) facilities; women's facilities are not listed, and at least one directory marks the masjid as male-only. Capacity is given by one directory as approximately 50 worshippers, but this is a single, unverified figure not confirmed elsewhere.

A significant caution applies. The Longsight area of Manchester contains several similarly named mosques that directories frequently confuse — notably "City Jamia Masjid" run by The Islamic Academy of Manchester (347-349 Stockport Road, Longsight, M13 0LF; phone 0161 273 1145), "Manchester Jame Masjid and Cultural Centre" (50A Birch Lane, M13 0WN; charity no. 1177124), and the well-known "Manchester Central Mosque" at Victoria Park. Some directory pages and search results cross-attribute the Islamic Academy's Jummah times, Facebook page and website to the South Street address; those details have therefore been excluded here rather than risk mis-attribution.
