D & G Smith Gibson, Manchester, August 2015

[stranton]

I notice this while having a mooch about Manchester,

alot of the walls and floors are in a bad way

there was alot of equipment remaining at street level and on first floor

but wasnt possible too access these or the tiled staircase, due too unforseen circumstances.

Nothing epic, but well worth the visit.

Sort of half a thread but thought I will share with you .

visited with @Coolboyslim

D & G Smith Gibson was a former textile warehouse,

the company was founded February 1934, in Stockport & continues trading today

(cant find opening and closing dates or prior uses for this building).

The building is currently in the process of refurbishment,

even through there isnt much evidence of this except scaffolding.

No idea if the building is grade listed.

Was a good looking place this. Shame about not seeing more.

A really nice looking building and again will make for a great conversion.

Id pop back at night and put some Christmas lights on that tree coming out of the roof in pic one
