Then and Now

1886

Our  stunning Victorian Gothic building was home to the tailors ‘Beaty Brothers’ and upstairs there was a concert hall.

I wish had more pictures and stories of 18-20 Oldham street. They certainly don’t build them like they used to!

Hopefully by posting this on here, more images will be found and can see the light of day. Please feel free to share with us.

1967

When it was home to “Weaver to Wearer” and other shops.  The industrial revolution had strong roots up north. Today fashion draws visitors – from high end new to pre-loved clothes. Clearly the building we see today is only a portion of the original.

2000

Saw the conversion  of the upper building into 7 residential flats including a penthouse. 

2002 as the first new resident of flat 1, I fell in love with its double height arched windows, solid wooden floors, Beams and columns…and of course that it has its unique feature of its own private entrance as well as a the standard entrance that the other flats share.

18-20 Oldham Street, on the corner of Oldham Street and 1 Dale Street, is occupied by “Vinyl Exchange”.  Number 20, in the same building is home to Fat City Records. The multitude of amazing music shops stands true today. Manchester’s love affair with Music has never wavered. 

 

2008 to today

with over 18 years of hosting Lushpads was conceived as Serviced apartment before AIRBNB launched its concept to the masses!

Lushpads neighbours are Thunder Egg and Fig & Sparrow on Oldham Street. Satori entrance is next to Vinyl Exchange on Dale Street.
