Fantastic drone scenery, indeed! the Dantzic street in Manchester is amazing; this ambience really impresses me. Thank you for sharing it with us to see.👍👍
Thank you again for your interest and wholesale coverage of development. 👏 You get very much a sense of scale from your film. Victoria North is probably the largest regeneration in Europe and a 25 year, approximately, project. If you take a look at Chetham's Hospital (Library) and the interior of the Cathedral you will see that it is sandstone of a peculiarly "purplish" colour. This is Collyhurst sandstone. In around 1421 the material was brought from the quarry down the river Irk that runs through the centre of your scene to be used. One of Mcr's oldest roads was Long Millgate.( Corporation Street was only built in the 1840's when Mcr was made a Corporation). Until then Long Millgate was the main thoroughfare from the old market place (Behind Marks & Spencer) along near where New Cathedral Street is now, past the rear of the Cathedral, alongside the entrance to Chetham's and alongside Victoria Stn (now disappearing under the New Victoria construction) to Ducie Bridge. I understand in your area, Red Bank the area on the left where the soil has been levelled permission has just been given to bid for Red Bank Plateau and another Red Bank area. Near the former railway line to Dean Lane. On the right near the former Ragged School on the site of the former gas works the Far East Consortium should be building some apartments. At Sandhills Metrolink are wanting to build a halt. Also! ▶️ Salboy & Domis revised Viaduct2 on Lower Mosley Street, next to Beetham Tower. The original 15-storey office block next to Viaduct1 was jettisoned. Working From Home is a game changer, offices aren't as attractive as they were formerly. Salboy & Domis came up with Viaduct2 a, b & c, including a 23 storey affordable tower built to a parallelogram shape to fit between Viaduct1 and the Beetham Tower, a 2 storey public realm construction and a 76-storey tower the largest residential tower in Europe. Viaduct2 has been in public consultation since the autumn. However last week the planning application was lodged with the council. This week in what could be a momentous week for Manchester architecture, the application will be heard. Jon, are you doing a 'special' 🤔. Challenge is on, between companies and between Salford and Manchester to provide signature buildings. 👷🚧 Ian Simpson the architect said when he started the city centre population was around 400 and he built pure apartments. Now the population is around 70k and rising North, generally with new graduates each year. In many towers there's gymnasia, cinemas etcetera, swimming-pools in some. At Viadux the swimming-pool is under the arches. As it stands, if they get the green light it's planned to award contracts Q3 2024 with construction commencing Q4 2024 with a 4 year envelope. Thank you once again for your interest and update. 🙂👍
Had a walk round there today near the Deansgate pub, walked round to Deansgate square. I’ll revisit it in a few weeks time. It would be nice to see the red bank properly start.
