bring a pub back...
We are proposing the change of use of the 35-37 from a retail and gallery space back to the Bay Horse, a Public House that was at the same address from the 1950s through to 1970s.
Since the building of the Arndale Center Thomas Street and this area have been viewed as the back end of Manchester City Centre. We are seeing the redevelopment of Smithfield Market, and the other residential schemes bring life and vibrancy into this area.
The proposed change of use reflects the change is this area, bring enclusive activities into the street-scape, rather than the exclusive trades that have previously characterised The Northern Quarter.
