Zuby Fashion, Manchester
– Tony Wilson
The textile industry once dominated Manchester and in fact was once the nerve centre of textile industry in Britain
Today it's a much different story and although a few 'crumbling' examples still lurk in the shadows,
much of old Manchester's industrial heritage has been reduced to rubble or steadily converted to offices/apartments over the last couple of decades..
I have been fortunate to poke around many of the older sites one way or another over the years
Being an old boiler myself I was naturally interested in this rare example that Host posted a while back > http://www.28dayslater.co.uk/forums/industrial-sites/82371-zuby-fashion-manchester-07-2013-a.html, and once again thanks for sharing
Myself and Camera Shy had a poke about here a couple of weeks ago now after inadvertently arranging a visit; a chance conversation that revealed we both had our sights (and alarm clocks set)
All told I did enjoy Zuby, despite the amount of decay and shite that somehow masked the better bits
I wasn't going to bother posting this until the point I had a right mission later the same day attempting to retrieve my phone (FFS!)
Despite a second trip later that evening, it turned out some honest citizen had found it on the streets much earlier and re-united it with me, instead of weighing it in at Cash Converters
I'm a lucky man!
