Neighbourhood
Ancoats
The world's first industrial suburb, now Manchester's most talked-about dining district.
Ancoats keeps its mill fronts, canals and red brick streets close to the surface. The area tells a clear story of industrial Manchester while giving over much of its ground floor life to restaurants, bakeries and coffee counters.
It works best as a slow evening neighbourhood: book dinner, walk the Rochdale Canal and leave time for a drink around Cutting Room Square. The mood is polished, but the history is never far away.
