113-119 Portland Street, Manchester
Another fine Manchester warehouse, built c1860. Predominantly red brick with less stone dressings than other examples, but some Italian Gothic details - see the treatment of the windows. Note particularly the top-floor windows and cornice. Grade II listed.
The left-hand section was largely converted into galleries in 1998 for CUBE (Centre for Understanding the Built Environment).

Built as a paper warehouse in the late C19th. Of plum-red brick with impressive arcades in the upper storeys and pilasters adorned with swags. Grade II listed.
For how long has it been empty? A small wood is developing above the cornice.

Chaos on Portland Street
Traffic is effectively gridlocked northbound on Portland Street even in mid-morning, due to closure of several main roads while more tram lines are imposed on Manchester's city centre. The scene in the rush hour can scarcely be imagined. In Manchester in 2015, it's often quicker and less stressful to walk across the city centre than use public transport.

106-116 Portland Street, Manchester
A fine sequence of late-C19th warehouses demolished behind the facades for a hotel and leisure centre. Hence the unsightly projection at the corner. Grade II listed.

Portland House, Princess Street, Manchester
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.
