Dominated by modern commercial office buildings, Spinningfields has been described as the 'Canary Wharf of the North'.
Outside London, few cities can boast a commercial property hotspot which demands such high premiums as Spinningfields. Walk past the polished buildings and you will see banks, law firms and restaurants that epitomise modern Manchester.
Some of the city's most exclusive office developments and priciest apartments are located in this district of the city, as well as one of the UK’s busiest and largest civil courts. But it was a very different story 150 years ago.
