One of the most renowned buildings in Didsbury has now been transformed into luxury rental apartments after undergoing an extensive three-year redevelopment. The old Didsbury police station on Wilmslow Road has been given a new lease of life after a Manchester based property developer took over the abandoned site.
The former police station stems right back to the early 1900s and was a staple of the local village. Originally built for Lancashire County Constabulary, the station was taken over by Greater Manchester Police and for many years it was home to the Didsbury and Withington neighbourhood policing team.
A number of years ago the station was closed down as the force began selling off properties to raise money for new stations. The site was then left empty until developer Wasil Hussain, director of HUS Property Developments, stumbled across it during lockdown.
