Princess Street, Manchester

It is not clear whether the street was actually named after a princess and the second part of it once bore the name of David Street.

Originally a residential street it became the site of many textile warehouses and large office buildings during the 19th century.

[1] The road is two-way as it passes Albert Square, St Peter's Square and its tram stop.

It then becomes one-way southbound but with a contraflow lane for buses, cycles and taxis, and for access.

After Portland Street, it becomes fully one-way southbound until Major Street, and resumes fully two-way.
