The Milne Building -
Mosley Street
 The Milne Building once
stood on the north side of Mosley Street. It
was described by Pevsner as "The most startling
warehouse of Manchester". It was built in the
1840s and as the plan below indicates it was
occupied by Dawson, Halliwell & Co and the
Calico Printers Association.
 It can be seen in the
aerial photograph below from the mid 1940s,
outlined in red.
 In the 1970s the
Milne Building was demolished to make way for a
concrete and glass structure designed by
Crickshank & Seward for the Eagle Star
Insurance Company. It can be seen in the
image below, indicated by an arrow. The
image is shown with the permission of Dr.
Neil Clifton.
 Eagle Star House was completed in 1973. However, it was in turn demolished in 2005 to make way for a new 8 storey office building for Cobbetts the law firm. Cobbetts House is seen on the left in the image below.  |
