At street-level, this old building at 77 Shudehill houses “The Pasta Factory”, an Italian restaurant and takeaway. Part of the ornate decoration includes these two shields above the doorway at the corner of Shudehill and Hanover Street. The building itself is probably from the early 20th century. I couldn’t see any datestone on it but it adjoins, and is similar in style to, “The Stovell’s Buildings”, a former umbrella and walking stick factory which was built in stages from 1900 to 1915. It may have been built as a bank, lettering above the ground floor windows (Image]) indicates that it has certainly housed a bank at some time during its history. See Image] for a wider view of the building.
