'The bricks and mortar of these buildings hold precious stories about the people of Manchester and this region’s world-famous industrial and social history.'
Theatres, churches, and warehouses feature on a new list of 18 heritage gems at risk in Greater Manchester. The old head office of a brewery and a 1930s hotel are also included.
"Following on from our recent report 'Boom not Bust' we are adding 18 threatened buildings to our SAVE Britain’s Heritage Buildings at Risk register to bring them to national attention and focus. With imagination, determination and political will, they can be part of Greater Manchester's future, not just its past."
The 1891 enlargement was by the same firm that was responsible for the Blackpool Tower. A grade II-listed building, it is a “rare and relatively early” example of social provision for girls, to whom it provided safe accommodation. On nearby Rochdale Road and also on the list is the Particular Baptist Chapel. SAVE notes: "This unlisted 1907 church’s homely bulk is a somewhat forlorn sight. All around it new-build blocks proliferate. Its brick form is enlivened by terracotta decoration in Art Nouveau style. The building is disused but could surely find some kind of community or commercial function."
The town's former Grand Theatre in King Street is also at risk. Opened in 1908, it has served as a cinema, ballroom, bowling alley, nightclub and snooker club and closed in 2008 with a threat of demolition looming. It later became a Roller Derby venue, which rolled on until 2020. Now the threat of demolition looms again.
Church of All Souls, Every Street, Ancoats. Described as a "striking grade II listed church" it was designed by William Hayley and built between 1839-1840 in the Romanesque style. The church forms a handsome part of Every Street but has been unused for over 30 years and has fallen into disrepair.
