# To be fair
to the Manchester mill redevelopments ( I considered buying an apartment there, some of them are beautifully dine ) most of those buildings were in an unsafe condition to use as they were and wherever any building had any aesthetic value the developers did their utmost to at least retain the original fascia and features.
Speaking as a Manc and a builder I have to say that the mill redevelopments have been a huge boon to the resurgence of Manchester city centre.
