Another super example of Manchester's warehouses. A rich concoction of orangey-red brick with stone dressings, striped on the ground floor, carved panels, oriel windows and a lively roofline of hipped gables crowned with finials. By Pennington & Bridgen, 1887. Grade II listed. It is one of a sequence of particularly fine warehouses on this street. This one currently serves as housing, offices and bars.
