Signage at Sadler's Yard Image informs us that this new public space was named after James Sadler, a balloonist, chemist and pastry chef who made the first manned balloon flight from Manchester in 1785, chosen following a social media campaign asking for suggestions from members of the public in 2015. It is part of the expanding NOMA neighbourhood.
