New Project: Rylands Building

Connolly Scaffolding are proud to announce that we have secured the contract to provide the full access package for our client russell wbho for this amazing project.

Located on Market Street, the Rylands Building is a Grade ii listed building designed by the eminent Manchester architects, Fairhurst’s (Harry S. & P. G. Fairhurst), in an Art Deco style. It is clad in Portland stone and features a decorative corner tower and eclectic 'zig zag' window lintels. The work was completed in 1932. Most people will remember the building as the iconic Debenhams store which closed its doors in 2021.

Jeffery Bell Architects are responsible for the re-imagining of the building which will be sensitively restored to its elegant past whilst providing state of the art office, retail, and leisure spaces, as well as a four storey roof-top extension. We’ll post further updates as the project progresses
