Fascinating new photos show how new neighbourhood will transform a neglected corner of Manchester city centre
New photos show how a landmark housing development will transform the face of a neglected corner of Manchester.
In the mid 19th Century Red Bank became the centre of Jewish working-class life in the city. Hundreds of poor Eastern European Jewish immigrants settled in the cramped, squalid warren of terraced houses at the bottom ofCheetham HillRoad. Photos show how the area will transform - with the view of the city shown by the first set of before-and-after pictures, compared to the wasteland on Red Bank plateau at the moment. Meanwhile a second view released by the developers illustrates how a new Union Square waterfront could look from Dantzic Street, with an existing photo showing the site looking in the other direction - with the River Irk to the right of the parked cars.
The 1,500 properties will be complimented by ‘high quality public spaces' and 'a new high street led by local independent businesses’, developers Far East Consortium say. That high street will form a core part of the new Red Bank neighbourhood, which is one of seven new areas to be built in the Victoria North project.
Hilary Brett-Parr, project director, said: "We have been very busy over the last 12 months building on our vision for Red Bank and adding more detail to our plans.
