Most of the Victorian mills, factories and warehouses in the area have been demolished or renovated into modern apartments or office spaces by developers ‘Urban Splash’. The building viewed here, covered in scaffolding, is the former Ancoats Hospital on Mill Street. Comparison with Image], a photograph taken in May 2010, before it became completely wrapped in scaffolding, shows how much the building has deteriorated since then.
