Description

The 1830 Warehouse is located at the Science & Industry Museum which is located to the west of the centre of Manchester between Castlefield, to the south, and St. Johns Quarter to the north.
PROJECT INFORMATION
The urgent repair works to the fabric of the 1830 warehouse are the result of a Feasibility Study undertaken by the project team in December 2018. This study highlighted that there was a high risk of fabric failure and a high risk of fabric falling from the building.
A proportion of the repairs, those most urgent, have been identified for completion within this project. This will form the first phase of work for the restoration of the building over a number of separately tendered phases, as funding is available, in order to protect this heritage asset for the long term.
