33, 35 And 37, Middleton Gardens

MIDDLETON MIDDLETON GARDENS SD 80 NE (east side) 2/12 Nos. 33, 35and 37 (formerly listed in 17.11.86 Manchester New Road) - II Row of 3 shops. 1908. By E. Wood and J. H. Sellers. Brick with glazed tile decoration and reinforced concrete flat roof. Each of the shops has a replaced shop front and the brickwork of No.33 has been painted. On the first floor 5- light leaded timber mullion windows are each flanked by tiled pilasters which in turn frame distinctive tiled panels above and below the windows. The panels incorporate green chevron patterns and each rises above the parapet to be terminated in a parapet with dentil-type motif. The design is not only extraordinary in its use of the tiled panels but in the early use of a reinforced concrete flat roof. Design drawings illustrated in Manchester City Art Gallery Exhibition Catalogue, Partnership in Style, 1975.
