Get there while you can ........... that 19th century building on Hulme Hall Road

Now in the middle of the week I followed up on that story of the building on Hulme Hall Road which had suffered a partial collapse.

The MEN covered the event and Andy Robertson went down to record the state of the building and was back on Thursday.
Work on the building  is well under way which prompted Andy to comment that  “it looks like the demolition could be rapid so I had better get down there often,” adding with an after thought, “it will be interesting to view it from across the canal."

So there you have the end of another bit of our history.

As buildings go I suspect it won’t even get a footnote in a book on the industrial buildings of this bit of the city which is a shame.

I tracked a little of the history of the site earlier in the week but there will be so much more.
Andy might even be lucky and record something of interest next time.

We shall see.
