A new fetish shop is set to open in a listed Manchester city centre building. Kink Bunker is expected to open next year in the basement of 48 Princess Street, a Grade II listed apartment building on the edge of the Gay Village.
The basement was previously occupied by a construction company, but planning permission has now been granted for the unit to become a shop. Kye Etherton, who is behind the plans, says he also wants to create a social community space in the basement which was once home to a gay nightclub.
He said: "What we're trying to do is open a new LGBT fetish shop. But we also wanted to have a community events space.
