Ice Plant

This part refurb, part new build development is exactly what Ancoats does best, juxtaposing the best of the old with the best of the new to give all modern comforts in authentic and characterful surroundings.

Parts of Ancoats came to be known as Little Italy in the early 20th century – a large number of Italian immigrants who settled there and introduced Manchester to one of their greatest skills – making ice cream! This four storey warehouse was indeed originally an ice plant, serving both the ice cream industry and the nearby Smithfield Market in the Northern Quarter. This part refurb, part new build development is exactly what Ancoats does best, juxtaposing the best of the old with the best of the new to give all modern comforts in authentic and characterful surroundings.
