Forty.

Forty. is a Grade II listed building in central Manchester, which was designed by the architectural practice of W. Waddington and built circa 1895.

The building is undergoing a significant redevelopment and will be ready for occupation in Q2 2023.

Like its neighbours, 40 Princess Street was built for industry, originally intended to offer office and warehouse space for merchants and manufacturing. This history can be seen in the architecture of the building, which has a ship’s prow above the corner of the doorway to reflect the building’s mercantile origins.

The 1927 Manchester & Salford Directory lists among the occupants: J. H. Greenhow & Co. Ltd, merchants; Alfred Fox, merchant and Hudson & Bowring Ltd, tram car life guard makers, who produced a device called a ‘life guard’ designed to prevent objects from falling between the wheels of trams.
