This building site on Oldham Street was originally home to the Dobbins fancy drapery shop. http://manchesterhistory.net/architecture/1930/dobbies.html The art-deco United Building Image in its latter years was home to "Mr Ryan's World Famous 2nd Hand Shop". It was demolished after a fire in 2013 http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-manchester-22121085 Despite a local campaign to turn the site into a pocket park http://parkstarter.com/ it was allowed to become a temporary car park Image Now Kempton Homes are constructing two mixed used buildings providing 100 apartments with basement parking for 100 cycles and ground floor commercial units. https://www.skyscrapercity.com/threads/76-82-oldham-street-northern-quarter-8-5-fl-u-c.1947139/ On the left is 22 Bees for Manchester Image Completed in June 2017 on the side of the Koffee Pot cafe it is a memorial to those who died in the Arena bombing.
