76 Quay Street - Young Street Chambers



76 Quay Street is home to the Young Street Chambers, deriving its name from the street which runs off Quay Street at that point.  They describe themselves as, "a modern, vibrant set of chambers, in the heart of Spinningfields, Manchester’s legal quarter. The diversity and experience of our barristers has enabled Young Street Chambers to continue to break new boundaries in providing first class legal representation to all."



The building has the appearance of one that was once commercial or industrial in nature with its multiple peaked roof that seems to be have been truncated at some point in its history.  The brickwork at street level suggests that larger windows have been replaced by smaller ones.  The building that once stood behind 76 Quay Street has clearly been replaced.  You can see the building in 1968 by clicking on the link below.
