About Deansgate

Deansgate is Manchester’s main north–south street, running for about a mile from Manchester Cathedral down to Castlefield. It links some of the city’s oldest landmarks, including the John Rylands Library, with some of the tallest residential towers in the UK outside London.

The southern end has changed the most. Beetham Tower, Deansgate Square and newer schemes such as Viadux and Elizabeth Tower have brought thousands of apartments to the area, alongside Deansgate Locks, the Great Northern Warehouse and the Bridgewater Hall.
