Warehouse Cooper Street‑ Dickinson Street

The modern warehouses of Manchester imposing by their extent and height, have also architectural character, and render the streets peculiar in aspect. Several are now going up: we may mention, in addition to the last named (Gregan - Portland Street-Parker Street), one at the corner of Dickinson-street and Cooper-street by Messrs Travis and Mangnall, displaying skill and fancy.

Thus in Dickinson-street we observe that a large and costly erection from drawings by Messrs Travis & Mangnall, is being built for Mr Robert Gardner of Pendleton; it has a frontage to Dickinson-street of 182 feet and another to Cooper-street of 102 feet. In height it is about 47 feet, and it has five storeys. The red brick of which it is mainly built is set off liberally with stone dressings, and its appearance is such as to make it a decided gain to the street in an architectural point of view.
