EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the grandeur of Watts Warehouse, now known as the Britannia Hotel, located on Portland Street in Manchester. Built between 1851 and 1865 by Travis and Mangnall, this magnificent structure was originally a general warehouse before being transformed into a luxurious hotel. Standing tall with its five storeys, basement, and roof pavilions, it boasts an impressive architectural design. The image captures three bays of the basement to second floor of Watts Warehouse. The south facade exhibits exquisite rustication up to the second floor while featuring round-headed ground floor windows adorned with voussoirs and keystones. Moving upward, one can admire four-pane sash windows on the first floor accompanied by balustraded balconies and decorated pediments. The elegance continues onto the second floor where slim columns support each window. Notably in this photograph, we observe that the basement windows have been bricked up while blackout fabric adorns the upper floors. This alteration serves as a testament to how this historic building has evolved over time. In 1979, George Bernard Wood acquired Watts Warehouse with intentions to restore it into a remarkable hotel space. Today, it stands as an iconic landmark showcasing both Victorian charm and late 20th-century renovations for bomb safety during World War II. This stunning image allows us to appreciate both the rich history preserved within these walls and its transformation into a modern-day haven for visitors from around the world.
