Former LNER goods depot, Deansgate, Manchester A second view of the former LNER goods depot in Manchester's Deansgate. This vast rail connected goods and exchange depot was opened in 1899 and was constructed to a very high specification including it being 'fireproof'. With the general decline in freight services on the railways, eventual closure came in 1954 with it becoming very dilapidated until restoration rescued it from the brink. It is now the home to a number of bars, restaurants, shops and a multiplex having become an attraction in its own right. Notice that all the retailers occupying the building in this view are involved in car spares and accessories including one selling exclusively motoring books!
