One of Manchester city centre’s most well-known buildings is going to scrub up — after being branded a ‘blight’ on the city.
The Rylands Building, on Market Street, used to house a huge Debenhams store, before the firm went bust. Since then, its former flagship Manchester store has been graffitied, plastered with posters, and vandalised.
It has led the Council’s city centre spokesperson, Pat Karney, to brand it ‘the scruffiest building in Manchester’. Now, however, the Manchester Evening News has learned that the site will be given some TLC soon.
