Castle
Gate - Chester Road
 The
architectural practice of AFL were commissioned
by the developers Wilson Bowden to design a
residential development within the Castlefield
Urban Heritage Park. The result was Castle
Gate, an apartment complex costing £8.2m to
build. It was completed in 2003 and
features a mixture of one and two bedroom units
and duplex apartments.
   In 1845 the site was
occupied by a stable complex beside the Middle
Warehouse and across from the Castle Field Coal
Wharf.
 By the time the
photograph below was taken in 1953 the configuration
of the buildings had somewhat altered. The
approximate position of Castle Gate is indcated by
the purple rectangle.
