Manchester Landmarks ......... the Rylands Warehouse

An occasional series describing a Manchester landmark in one sentence.



It was built in 1932 for Rylands and Sons as a wholesale textile warehouse and acquired by Pauldens in 1957 and converted into a departmental store, changing its name to Debenhams in 1973.

Location; Market Street, Manchester

Picture; the Rylands Building, 2016, from the collection of Andrew Simpson
