very disappointed with the plans the developer has put forward with this place. 90% of it will be a new hotel & work space / apartments, and the other 15% will be spread across a gym that is so small it's not fit for purpose, a cinema with a screen the size of your flat screen TV in your living room, an undoubtedly overpriced restaurant & POSSIBLY a coffee shop. What the locals would like to have seen would have been a decent sized gym & swimming pool that is well maintained, decently sized cinema, several independent coffee shops and areas for all the locals to chill out not just those who work for companies and hire the space, a medium hotel would have been acceptable along with some space for apartments & offices workspace. Instead, they've essentially shafted Mancunians by providing the minimum required to pass local council's requirements, while maximising their own profit pockets. Manchester council is to blame more than the developers, as it was their job to ensure new developments add to local resources.
This historic and beautiful building has long been a favourite of mine and I'm delighted to see that it's finally getting a new lease of life after decades of neglect by its former owners. I watched the recent Michael Portillo programme delving into the station's past and was intrigued to discover that the reason there is a very tall tower incorporated into the building is that this was for the firefighters to hang their hoses in after a fire so that they could dry, and the tower was designed to be the same length as the hoses. The programme also taught me that not only the fire fighters, but their families lived in the station too, and there was a whole community of husbands wives and children dwelling inside this beautiful building sometimes for years. I can't wait to see what the new development brings and hope that the restoration is sympathetic to the building's stunning architecture and the to the legacy of bravery and heroism of the people who served there.
Totally agree Pete Plus, I’m guessing, these small apartments at LRFS will be selling for over £300,000 upwards! Another waste of council tax payers money. They agree to any new build developments … using up every green space they can find. I live opposite London Fire Station and have worked from home since March 2020. I live on the 7th floor so mon-fri is a nightmare … drilling, digging etc etc. The noise echoes up ten-fold through the courtyard. I have had issues with the construction team about radio noise and smoking on the roof last year. This falls on deaf ears with Quadriga the renovation team and Alliance London the owners. Over the last few months the construction team have been drilling at 7.30 in the morning. The law states they can do this from 8.30am. Have spoken with Licensing & Out of Hours Compliance Officer and they dealt with it with a slapped hand and warning letter to Quadriga and Alliance London. The loud digging has started again @ 7.30am, so I give up. I reckon Manchester City Council have a stake in this, hence they really don’t want any bad publicity for LRFS. They can’t even give a completion date … maybe 2022… maybe 2023! If I could afford to pay £250 a month for an office space, If I could, I would but why should I. This is the place I own: live and work from. It’s a violation. I’m sure if I stopped my council tax - £166 a month - in protest I would be taken to court. Have sent emails to Andy Burnham and posted on his site on Facebook. Nothing. So something isn’t right. LRFS now has seven licences granted: bars, restaurants, cinema, live music etc. All allowed til 12.30am. Few years back Manchester City Council opened LRFS for events and live music for three months. The closing time for this was 11pm which regularly went on til 1-1.30am. It’s the council, so they do as they please! Pure Nightmare. All these new apartment blocks are being sold to offshore developers, as no single person who works and lives in the city can afford a new apartment @ £3000000 for a one bed. I depict a recession in 2023 in Manchester, so lets see what happens. The council will be hanging their heads in shame and running. So for all of you bloggers giving ***** to the development, take some time to think about residents living opposite!!!! I could sell up and move or rent my pad. But oh, I can’t because no tenant wants to live opposite a huge noisy construction site.
My brother and I were born in the firestation in 1956 and 58. We were there when the Queen visited and used to have a photo from the newspaper of us in one of the windows waving flags. This has since gone missing. I would really love to find another, but from Australia it's difficult. If anyone has any ideas please let me know.
This is my favourite building in manchester. Amazing looking old building. If you're in the area have a slow walk around it and just take it all in!
Such a beautiful piece of Manchester’s History, That housed our Coroners Court, A place I once gave evidence to regarding a tragic accident which killed a new born baby, many years ago.
Not much to see yet as development continues and no admission due to ongoing work.should be spectacular when finished.
it's a great looking building amazing architecture and lot of history
Excellent building and should be refurbished into swanky takeaways
Great museum, will certainly return
