In modern day Manchester we know it as Rosso, the super-glitzy Italian restaurant sitting at the top of King Street which is co-owned by footballing legend Rio Ferdinand. But before Man United star Rio made his foray into the restaurant world, the building was a trailblazing venue that aimed to change the city's dining scene.
Back in 2004, Establishment was considered the most significant opening of the year - launching amid a blaze of publicity and with foodies clamouring to dine inside its opulent interiors. It had taken on the historic Lancashire and Yorkshire bank building that had previously been Rothwell's bar on Spring Gardens, at the top of King Street.
With acclaimed chef Ian Morgan at the helm, it fast became talked about as a Michelin Star contender for Manchester. The city had long been waiting for a nod in the guide at that point, having not held a star since The French at the Midland back in the 1970s.
