Bridgewater House, Manchester

Bridgewater House is a packing and shipping warehouse at 58–60 Whitworth Street, Manchester, England.

It is built around a steel frame with a cladding of sandstone ashlar and white glazed terracotta in a large rectangular plan, with a loading bay at the rear.

[1] According to the architectural historian Clare Hartwell, Fairhurst's huge buildings are "steel-framed and built to high-quality fireproof specifications".

[citation needed] The authors of the Buildings of England series state that "Fairhurst's design revolutionised the business of loading and unloading goods and twenty-six lorries could be dealt with simultaneously using a drive-through system".

[5] In 2022 Renaker sold Bridgewater House to Watch This Space, a property developer.
