Manchester's London Road Fire Station: Standing Up To The Apathy, Neglect & Abuse by Britannia Hotels for 29 years. Enough is Enough.

Waste of a glorious Victorian building with so much potential for good use as a public space

Good luck with this. We've lost too much of our Victorian heritage already.

Use it or lose it!

Shocking waste of an outstanding building.

I feel it's high time this building is restored and a new use for this iconic listed building. This building is located in an area undergoing large scale regeneration including the new Piccadilly Place across the road. The restoration of the former fire station would make a great improvement to the Piccadilly Station area and would improve the first impressions of Manchester to visitors arriving by train.

It's a great building and it needs restoring.

I used to live in this wonderful building, and my daughter was born there. Please save it.

Please save this beautiful ornate building, it would make fabulous apartments, with space for parking through those wonderful arched gateways. I would live there...

This building gradually decays irrespective of the hotel market. It seems that Brittania have no intention of developing the site.

This is such a fantastic building that something should be done.it would make a beautiful hotel,near to the station,or made into apartments instead of being left to rot.

this is part of are heratige and should be saved

I saw this magnificent and beautiful building for the first time on Saturday morning (8th March 2014). It's beautiful, ornate design and marvellous towers really enthused me for Manchester and it's heritage. Sadly, it looked in a pretty sorry state. The city should be proud of such a construction and edifice to more confident days. It's comforting to know someone is trying to do something to rectify matters

My family (Millson) are responsible for the fine stonework etc. on this wonderful building, and we hope it will be saved. They were stone masons/sculptors. Although we are from Leeds we support Manchester in this one !!

Building like this should be saved, not left to decay.

An absolutely fantastic building that is being left to rot! It is a travesty that a piece of Manchester history is being treated this way!

this beautiful building deserves better. It's architecture has wow factor and should be preserved so that anyone exiting Piccadilly station can see it at it's best. Why doesn't someone start a consortium and transform it into a iconic hotel. After all we have some of the richest footballers living on our doorstep, it would give them an opportunity to give something back to the City that has given them the best football wages in the world!!

I stayed in a nearby hotel a few years ago and this remarkable building really does have the Whow! factor that is missing in so much modern architecture. A viable economic use can surely be found for it.

Save this beautiful building to many have gone the old fire station in Bolton got knocked down and they replaced it with a block of flats and half are up for sale and no one wants to buy them, they look like a prison block no features to the building at all so please keep this lovely building.

My Husband trained at this wondeful building nearly 35 years ago. Many of his colleagues also lived in the flats surrounding the yard. It is an absolute disgrace the condition it has been left in..

Trained there in 1979.The neglect this iconic building has suffered is an absolute disgrace
