New Cathedral Street, Manchester
New Cathedral Street is a modern, pedestrianised shopping street in the heart of central Manchester, close to Deansgate and halfway between the city鈥檚 two main train stations, Victoria and Piccadilly. While the street is a relatively modern addition, it has been built around two of Manchester鈥檚 most famous landmarks 鈥� the Royal Exchange theatre and arcade in the centre of the street, and Saint Ann鈥檚 Church at the street鈥檚 southern end. As the name suggests, New Cathedral Street leads towards Manchester Cathedral, at the north end.
New Cathedral Street was built following major regeneration works in the downtown area, carried out after the infamous 1996 IRA bombing of Manchester鈥檚 city centre. New Cathedral Street is Manchester鈥檚 premier shopping destination, home to a number of boutique department stores, many of which are flagship stores for the North of England. The emergence of the street as a shopping hotspot has boosted Manchester鈥檚 reputation as a fashionable destination to visit. Established brands like Selfridge's and Marks & Spencer have their stores here alongside a host of designer names and outlets which have also taken up residence in New Cathedral Street. Among these are Harvey Nichols, Ted Baker, Hugo Boss, Burberry and Lacoste, to name but a few.
