Ancoats

Neighborhoods in Manchester

"Ancoats began life as a residential district for industrial workers, so it’s awash with rows of smart-looking brick houses, placid canals, and attractive cobblestone streets. In recent years, money and development have polished the area to a high shine, and now the original houses have been joined by scores of apartment buildings, bars, and the best new eateries in town. On a sunny day, hang out at Cutting Room Square or grab a coffee and a slice of cake from the excellent Pollen Bakery at the New Islington Marina. If you’re around for dinner and drinks then pay a visit to the neighborhood bar and restaurant, Erst." - MATADOR_NETWORK
