EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the Old Wellington Inn on Stilts, located in the heart of Manchester's Old Shambles area, during the extensive surrounding construction works in November 1971. The Old Wellington Inn is a rare surviving example of a medieval timber-framed building, which once formed part of the bustling and historic market district of Manchester. The image showcases the inn's unique engineering solution, as it sits gracefully on stilts, allowing for the area to be excavated and redeveloped beneath it. The use of stilts was a common method during medieval times for constructing buildings over wetlands or marshy ground, but it was also employed in Manchester during the 20th century to preserve historic structures during urban renewal projects. The Old Wellington Inn, with its intricate timber framing and weathered facade, stands proudly against the backdrop of modern construction equipment and materials, showcasing the juxtaposition between the old and the new. The scene is a testament to the importance of balancing progress with preservation, as the inn was carefully moved to a new location at Cathedral Gates in the late 1990s to ensure its survival for future generations. This photograph is a poignant reminder of Manchester's rich history and the ongoing efforts to conserve and protect its heritage, even amidst the ever-changing urban landscape. The Old Wellington Inn on Stilts is a symbol of resilience and adaptability, standing tall through the test of time and the challenges of urban development.
