Down behind Piccadilly Station waiting for the Northern Hub ....... part 4 workshops, new flats, and twisty roads

Now I am back with some of Andy Robertson’s pictures at the back of Piccadilly Railway Station.

For years it was just the home of small workshops, and open spaces with streets and roads that you used for parking up.

And so pretty much a place that the rest of the city had forgotten and passed by.

But no part of town has escaped the spread of those new blocks of flats and the return of inner city living.

It began with some new build down by Tonman Street carried on with warehouse conversions and then seemed to happen everywhere from the Northern Quarter across to Castlefield and all spots in between.

So not surprising then that the area around Store Street and Jarvis Street should also get its fair share, and judging by Andy’s pictures this stretch of Baring Street which runs from Fairfield Street over the Medlock to
Bond Street and the Mancunian Way is ripe for change.
