Image: © David Dixon Taken: 14 Jan 2012
The nineteenth century warehouse, at the side of the Bridgewater canal at Broadheath, contrasts starkly with the two modern apartment blocks (the Budenberg HAUS Projekte - http://www.architecture.com/Awards/RIBAAwards/Winners2007/NorthWest/Budenberg/BudenbergHAUSProjekte.aspx ). Opened in 2003, the apartment blocks are the first part of a larger regeneration project along the canalside.
