The Lower Turks Head, Shudehill

Client. Moth Developments
Contract Value. £500K

The Lower Turks Head is one of Manchester’s oldest pubs and had been vacant for over 20 years and in a seriously dilapidated state. Additionally, being located in a recently redeveloped area of Manchester; which is currently a night life hot-spot, the pressure was on to produce a scheme which not only respected the heritage values attributed to the building, but was also capable of competing in an extremely competitive market.

DWA’s Michael Maddocks was tasked with the job, and we’re delighted to report that due to his design flare and commercial expertise, both boxes have well and truly been ticked.

The layout of this building, with its compact spaces was maximised and salvage materials were expertly reused resulting in a project that we’re very proud of.
