History of Lloyds House
Lloyd’s House sits in the northwest corner of Albert Square where Southmill Street meets Lloyd Street. It extends along Lloyd Street and Jacksons Row.
It was designed by the architectural practice of Speakman & Charlesworth in 1867, originally for the ‘Manchester Shipping Office and Packing Company Ltd’ and was the city’s first purpose-built packing warehouse.
When the Manchester cotton trade was enjoying its last boom, the firm built some of the largest and most ambitious warehouses in Manchester. It owned and administered merchants warerooms and office space – and supplied labour, machinery and space for loading, unloading, storing and packing within the same building.
