The Withy Grove Printing House erected in 1873 ran successfully as a newspaper printers for over 100 years producing publications such as the Manchester Evening Chronicle and the Daily Mirror until it was closed in 1985.
Originally established by Edward Hulton, E Hulton & Co Ltd. owned the presses and his son Sir Edward Hulton expanded his father's newspaper interests until he retired in 1923.
A number of newspaper groups owned the building until it fnally closed in 1985 and then was empty until 2000.
As part of a regeneration project it was refurbished and turned into an entertainment complex consisting of a cinema and various restaurants and bars.
The building is split internally with a roadway that was used by delivery vans. There are two memorial plaques on the wall alongside a walkway next to the road, this one and next to it a WWII memorial plaque.
