Jackson's Warehouse

Jackson's Warehouse is a six-story brick structure in Piccadilly Basin with large windows and strong architectural details distributed across its rectangular facade. The structure displays the typical features of Manchester's industrial storage design with powerful, functional lines that suggest its original purpose.

The building was constructed in 1836 as a storage facility at Rochdale Canal and served for many years storing goods for the city's trade. After closing in 1961, it was transformed in the 2000s and now houses residential spaces, giving the structure a new purpose.

The building displays typical features of Manchester's industrial architecture with large windows and sturdy brick construction that shaped the city's appearance during its manufacturing era. Visitors can see in the facade how such structures were designed to facilitate quick movement of goods along the waterways.

The building sits near public transportation options and is accessible from Piccadilly Basin where pedestrians can explore the surroundings. Visitors should note that some areas are private, so not all sections are freely accessible for viewing.

The building received Grade II* listing in 1974, a designation that protects important structures in England and recognizes its architectural significance. This classification demonstrates how Manchester's industrial heritage is of national interest and protection.
