History and location:

Alfred Waterhouse, a luminary of Victorian architecture, left an indelible mark on Manchester with his iconic designs, including the Town Hall and the Natural History Museum. 

Waterhouse’s legacy is most prominently associated with the iconic red brick university buildings he developed in cities across the U.K. His work can also be found in Manchester, where he designed the Boddingtons Brewery, a historic landmark that operated for over 200 years. Today, Boddingtons Brewery’s former site is transformed into a new Waterhouse Gardens community. 

The red brick buildings in Waterhouse Gardens are inspired by Waterhouse’s love for terracotta and his dedication to the Victorian Gothic Revival style. Each building bears the name of a local waterway, connecting the development to its historical lineage. The interior designs and landscaping draw inspiration from the site’s brewery past — creating a unique blend of history and modernity.

The Waterhouse Gardens development is in the northern part of Central Manchester, close to the city’s major transportation hubs. It is also within walking distance of Manchester’s famous attractions, like the Town Hall, the Natural History Museum and the Arndale Centre.
