This is a printing house called "Mission Print". There was a rather large puddle outside the building and an appropriately parked yellow car. I like the riot of colours and reflections that the picture generates making for interesting viewing.

Photographed on the last Sunday before VAT went up to 20%, I was testing my new camera for night shots. The original was sharp enough but a slight tweak with my favourite free photo editor got it towards perfection.

 

The building itself is know as the Print Works as this was the former Northern base of the Daily Mirror and its Sunday papers.

The Printworks, Withy Grove, Manchester

 

The Printworks entertainment venue is located on the revamped Withy Grove site of the business premises of the 19th century newspaper proprietor Edward Hulton, established in 1873 and later expanded. Hulton's son Sir Edward Hulton expanded his father's newspaper interests and sold his publishing business based in London and Manchester to Lord Beaverbrook and Lord Rothermere when he retired in 1923. Most of the Hulton newspapers were sold again soon afterwards to the Allied Newspapers consortium formed in 1924 (renamed Kemsley Newspapers in 1943 and bought by Roy Thomson in 1959).

 

Earlier names of the buildings associated with publishing that were incorporated into the development include Withy Grove Printing House, the Chronicle Buildings, Allied House, Kemsley House, Thomson House and Maxwell House. Kemsley House on the corner of Withy Grove and Corporation Street was developed gradually from 1929 and became the largest newspaper printing house in Europe. The site housed a printing press until 1986. Robert Maxwell bought the property for £1 and subsequently closed it down. The building was left unused for over a decade and fell derelict.

 

In 1998 the derelict building and surrounding site were bought for £10 million by Shudehill Developments, a joint venture by Co-operative Wholesale Society and Co-operative Insurance Society which owned buildings and land adjacent to the building. The building was renamed The Printworks reflecting its past history and underwent a £110 million conversion to transform the property into an entertainment venue. The frontage Pevsner describes as a "weakly Baroque Portland stone façade" was retained, and part of an internal railway from the newspaper business and its turntable for transporting newspapers was incorporated into the new floor.

 

In 2000 the Printworks was opened by Sir Alex Ferguson and Lionel Richie as the venue for a variety of clubs and eateries. The new 365,000-square-foot facility is set over four floors. The new building features a twenty-screen UCI cinema complex (subsequently bought by Odeon and, in 2017, by Vue Cinemas) which includes North West England's first IMAX screen, a Virgin Active fitness club, a Hard Rock Cafe restaurant and a Tiger Tiger nightclub. The external lighting facing Exchange Square has been changed numerous times since opening.

The Printworks in Manchester originally housed the printing works, but is now one of the most innovative entertainment centers in the North West. The outer façade of this building is more than a century old and was home to the Withy Grove Press, which was the largest press works in Europe. The Press ceased to function after 1987. The devastating bombing in central Manchester in 1996 wrecked the Withy Grove premises.

 

History..., isn't it fascinating? And to think I really hated it in secondary school and during the family holidays when my parents desperately tried to show us some of Europe's history. I couldn't care less back then, I wanted to listen to my walkman... Sorry mum and dad, but luckily that's all changed now :-)
