'This part of Old Trafford has suffered from decline for some time, but there’s fantastic potential here with surviving landmark buildings that tell the story of the area’s role as a pioneering industrial hub'
It is a cluster of buildings which once contributed greatly to Manchester's industrial heartbeat. But they also brought archictectural panache.
The 2016 council plan said: "The special interest and heritage values of the Empress Conservation Area stem from the ability of the surviving historic sections of the Conservation Area to convey the story of its industrial development: workers’ terraces intermingled with the industrial buildings that sprang up to take advantage of the growing canal network and docks.
Pevsner architectural guide describes the building, Grade II Listed since 1994, as, "an uncommonly stately office building fronting the works". It features four two-storey oriels, and four towers. Formerly Duckworth's Essence Distillery, the company traded in the flavouring and essence business for 118 years, 107 of them on the site.
Adding: "We take the restoration of this listed building in Old Trafford very seriously. The project management firm is involved in a full review of the property." The name VENO remained on top of the building and is still on it today. The white render was added post-1960s. The building has undergone a partial regeneration, and windows have been replaced on the main façade. In 2014, a new development incorporated the building's facade into a residential complex of 116 apartments, although the scheme stalled when the developer went into liquidation.
